Turkey said Israel is seeking to expand its war on Gaza to Lebanon with the “alarming” wave of deadly explosions that swept through Hezbollah strongholds.
“The escalation in the region is alarming,” Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan was quoted as saying by TRT .
“We see Israel mounting its attacks towards Lebanon step by step. We have come to a point where these operations carried out by Israel have become increasingly provocative, and in return, Iran, Hezbollah and elements close to them have no choice but to respond.
“Does Israel want permanent peace or does it want to eliminate everything it sees as a threat by using classical war methods? Currently, the fanatic government in Israel is pursuing a strategy to eliminate all threats.”
Lebanon’s health minister Firass Abiad has said in the latest news briefing in Beirut that the death toll from the two waves of attacks in Beirut has risen to 37.
On Tuesday, 12 people were killed and 2323 admitted to hospital, including 226 who remain in critical condition.
The following day, 25 people were killed and 708 injured, including 61 who remain in the intensive care unit.
