It was confirmed by Lebanon’s Hezbollah on Saturday that its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was killed. The group vowed to continue the battle against Israel.

Tel Aviv said it conducted an airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs a day earlier in what would be a devastating blow to the group as it reels from an escalating campaign of Israeli attacks.

Foreign Office said in a statement, “Pakistan strongly condemns the growing Israeli adventurism in the Middle East. Its unbridled attacks on civilian populations and disregard of international law have reached alarming levels.”

For the past several days, Israel had “engaged in unacceptable violation of the sovereignty of Lebanon, relentlessly targeting civilian population centers, and undermining its stability and security”, the statement noted.

It said, “We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims of Israeli aggression and the people of Lebanon.”

The statement noted, “Pakistan continues to stand in solidarity with the people of Lebanon,” it added, urging the United Nations Security Council to stop Israel from its “adventurism in the region and violations of international law.”

On Friday, six dead and 91 wounded in the initial attack— the fourth on Beirut’s Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs in a week and the heaviest since a 2006 war.
