Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri condemned the targeting of "Israeli occupation forces this evening against civilians in their cars and paramedics in the morning while they were carrying out their humanitarian duties," stating: "The latest target bank of Israeli occupation is the crime committed against children on the Aytroun-Ainata road, which led to the martyrdom of a woman and three of her grandchildren. What happened unequivocally confirms that Israel, at both military and political levels, and one of its representatives, the Minister of Heritage, who called for the use of nuclear bombs against the Palestinian people in Gaza, represents a model of organized state terrorism. What the Israeli entity is doing from Gaza to southern Lebanon is one continuous context."
