Russia raises concern about Israel’s attack on Lebanon
Russia is alarmed by the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East following an Israeli drone strike on the Hezbollah party’s press center in Lebanon, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
“Moscow is seriously concerned by the further escalation of tension in this region,” the Russian foreign policy department observed. “Russia has repeatedly pointed out the danger of such actions in the critically tense regional atmosphere, and warned that they could lead to a large-scale armed conflict with unpredictable consequences.”
“We once again call on all sides to exercise maximum restraint and to strictly adhere to international law, including the relevant UN Security Council resolutions,” the Russian Foreign Ministry added.
