Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants Abdullah Bou Habib announced that Israel is attacking Lebanon without considering how and where to strike. Bou Habib stated in an interview with "LBC": "We told American and British officials that we do not want any strike on Lebanon, and those killed in the Golan were Arabs and Syrians, and Israel's intervention is illegal." He continued: "We hope that Hezbollah's response will be proportional to avoid an opposite Israeli response."
