Hezbollah Condemns Israel Iran Strikes, Avoids Retaliation

Hezbollah has condemned Israel's recent airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, describing them as brutal aggression and a dangerous escalation that threatens regional stability. Despite its support for Iran and its leaders, Hezbollah has stated it will not unilaterally retaliate against Israel, emphasizing that such attacks may have major repercussions but will not provoke direct action from the group. Lebanon's Information Ministry has warned citizens, especially public figures, against any communication with Israeli military spokespeople or affiliated media, citing legal violations and the spread of misinformation aimed at destabilizing the country. Israeli airstrikes have intensified, particularly targeting Beirut's Dahieh district, prompting civilian evacuations amid ongoing threats. Iran responded to the Israeli offensive with UAV attacks that were intercepted by Israeli defenses, while Hezbollah leaders reaffirmed their support for Iran's right to defend itself and take measures as it sees fit. The situation underscores escalating tensions in the region with proxy groups linked to Iran maintaining a cautious stance despite condemning Israeli military actions.
