Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned on Tuesday that any attack on the country’s infrastructure will be met with retaliation. This statement comes after the Israeli military announced a strike in Beirut that killed senior Hezbollah commander Suhail Husseini, international media reported.
The strike occurred shortly after the global community marked the one-year anniversary of the October 7 attack when Israel began bombarding Gaza after Hamas forces retaliated to decades-long occupational crims committed by Israel, prompting widespread mourning and demonstrations in various countries. Israel has increased military operations, including a limited ground incursion into southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah has stated it will continue to target Israeli positions with rockets, missiles, and drones until a cease-fire is achieved in the Gaza Strip, where Israel continues its strikes and killing of Palestinains, more than 41,000 so far.
