After the Israeli army’s attack in southern Beirut, various representatives from Hamas, Yemeni Houthis, Iran, and the Russian Federation swiftly responded.
In a bold statement, the Russian government condemned the Israeli action, labeling it a “dangerous escalation” that jeopardizes regional stability. Moscow urged Israel to halt military operations and called for international mediation to prevent further conflict.
Hamas vowed fierce retaliation for the attack, with spokesman Fawzi Barhoum warning of consequences for Israeli aggression. The group called for Palestinian unity and increased resistance against Israel, seeking support from Arab and Muslim nations.
The Houthi movement in Yemen expressed solidarity with Hamas and denounced Israel’s actions. Spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam promised support for Palestinian struggles and hinted at potential Houthi responses.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the attack as necessary for national security, emphasizing the right to self-defense. However, the international community urged restraint and a return to peace talks to avoid further violence and instability.
