ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Sunday strongly denounced the growing Israeli adventurism in the Middle East and said that its unbridled attacks on civilian populations and disregard for global law have reached alarming levels.
“For the last several days, Israeli forces have engaged in unacceptable violation of the sovereignty of Lebanon, relentlessly targeting civilian population centers, and undermining its stability and security. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims of Israeli aggression and the people of Lebanon,” the Foreign Office Spokesperson said in a press statement.
The statement said the reckless Israeli act of killing the Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon constitutes a major escalation in an already volatile area.
