Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Friday strongly condemned the Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon, including the latest attacks on Beqaa Valley.
He called on the UN Security Council to fulfill its duties in maintaining the international peace and security and to take an “urgent action” on the Israeli violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He slammed that the Security Council's ongoing silence and inaction on Israeli violations and crimes are “catastrophic”.
The spokesman also held the United States and France, as the guarantors of the ceasefire agreement, responsible for the ongoing violations.
His remarks come as Israeli warplanes conducted at least 13 airstrikes on Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley on Thursday, killing one person and wounding 29 others.
Lebanon’s Ministry of Health said that a “16-year-old Syrian boy was killed” near Baalbek.
The attacks targeted Shmestar, Boudai, Harbata as well as the Hermel and Nabi Chit mountains, according to the National News Agency (NNA).
The air raids also left several shops damaged in the Baalbek Souk in Tallet al-Ajami.
