At the same time, Guterres still expressed concern that the military conflict with Israel “continues to destroy lives and cause profound human suffering to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and now to the people of Lebanon.”
We remind you that the United States of America will send additional troops to the Middle East amid the escalation of Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah.
On October 1, the Israeli army announced the start of a ground operation in southern Lebanon. According to the IDF, the military began several hours ago raids against targets and infrastructure of the Hezbollah group.
