RIYADH: Saudi Arabia on Saturday condemned the latest Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
A number of Lebanese soldiers were killed in Israeli strikes that struck their vehicle in southern Lebanon.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the Kingdom rejected the “continuation of the Israeli aggression against the Lebanese Republic,” and the “targeting (of) Lebanon’s sovereignty” and its army.
It further extended Saudi Arabia’s condolences to those killed in the strikes, including soldiers on duty, expressing Riyadh’s solidarity with Lebanon “and its brotherly people toward anyone who threatens its security and stability.”
Israel began launching strikes on Lebanon on March 2 in response to militant group Hezbollah entering the US-Israeli war against Iran on the side of Tehran after the killing of the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei.
