The Israeli army: These are absolute lies!  - 1

None of the military and defense facilities of Israel did not suffer as a result of the attack of the Lebanese Shiite movement "Hezbollah". Claims of strikes on military targets in Israel are an absolute lie.

This was stated on Telegram on Sunday by Dmitry Gendelman, an adviser in the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel will continue to suppress any attempts by "Hezbollah" to endanger the lives of our civilian and military personnel, he assured.

We remind you that on Sunday there was an exchange of blows between Israel and "Hezbollah" from Lebanon.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reaffirmed Washington's commitment to Israel's defense.

The situation in the Middle East has reached a critical level of danger for the region and beyond. I support Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati's call for the immediate implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, in addition to a much-needed ceasefire in Gaza, to avoid the risk of full-scale war.

This is what the head of diplomacy of the European Union (EU) Josep Borrell wrote on Sunday in X (formerly Twitter).

The threat of full-scale war grew after Iran and "Hezbollah" vowed to avenge the killings last month, blamed on Israel, of the political leader of the "Hamas" Ismail Haniya in Tehran and the top commander of "Hezbollah" Fouad Shukr in South Beirut.

Cross-border violence since the start of the Gaza war has killed more than 600 people in Lebanon.
