In a tragic turn of events, a recent Israeli airstrike targeted a Lebanese army center located in Al-Amiriya, near Tyre. This incident resulted in the death of one soldier and left 18 others injured.
The strike has raised serious concerns regarding the ongoing tensions in the region.
The attack has been met with strong condemnation from Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister, Najib Mikati.
He referred to the Israeli strike as a “bloody message” that undermines ceasefire efforts and violates U.N. Resolution 1701, which aims to maintain peace and stability along the Israel-Lebanon border.
This incident highlights the fragile relationship between the two nations and the impact on local populations.
In response to the international outcry, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have issued an apology for the incident.
They clarified that the offensive was directed against Hezbollah and not intended to target the Lebanese army.
The IDF stated, “The IDF regrets the incident and clarifies that it is fighting in a targeted manner against the Hezbollah organization, and not against the Lebanese army.”
An investigation into the specifics of the operation is currently underway.
