Hezbollah condemns Israeli attack on refugee camp that killed 13

The Lebanese group says it condemns “in the strongest terms” Israel’s overnight attack on the Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp in the southern city of Sidon.

It called the attack a “flagrant violation” of Lebanese sovereignty and the year-old ceasefire that should have stopped Israeli attacks on Lebanon.

“The pillars of the Lebanese state must realise that showing any leniency, weakness, or submission to this enemy only increases its ferocity, savagery, and audacity, and that mere reactive responses that do not rise to the level of aggression will only lead to more attacks and massacres”, it said, calling on the Lebanese state to respond firmly to the attack.

Meanwhile, two towns in southern Lebanon are currently waiting on Israel to strike, after its army issued forced displacement orders for its residents a short while ago.
