Amid escalating tensions driven by "Israel's" relentless bombardment of southern Lebanon, factions of the Axis of Resistance have condemned the continuation of "genocidal operations" committed by the Israeli regime in both Lebanon and Palestine.

"Israel's" latest round of airstrikes on Lebanon has triggered a wave of statements from prominent resistance movements and political actors across the region, heightening concerns of a broader regional conflict.

The strikes, which resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths, have drawn denunciation from regional resistance factions across Yemen, Iraq, and Palestine.

Hamas Condemns "Israel's" War Crimes

In a statement issued by Hamas, the movement said it stronlgy condemns the Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon as a "barbaric aggression" and a "war crime."

The palestinian Resistance reaffirmed its solidarity with Hezbollah and the Lebanese people, accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting to "break the will of Resistance" by targeting both Palestinian and Lebanese civilians.

Hamas urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) to take immediate action and prosecute Israeli leaders as war criminals, holding the US responsible for enabling "Israel’s" military operations.

"The American administration is fully complicit in these massacres," the statement read, as Hamas called on the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to isolate "Israel" internationally.

PFLP, al-Mujahideen

Several Palestinian factions, including the Palestinian al-Mujahideen Movement and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), also issued strong condemnations of "Israel’s" aggression in Lebanon.

The PFLP accused "Israel" of deliberately targeting civilians as part of a "war of genocide," facilitated by US support and the complicity of Arab nations involved in normalization agreements with "Israel."

"The occupation’s massacres will only strengthen the resolve of the resistance," the PFLP statement declared, calling for united Arab and Palestinian action to confront Israeli aggression.

In turn, the al-Mujahideen Movement echoed this sentiment, stressing the connection between "Israel's" aggressions in Gaza and Lebanon, and called for "qualitative operations" targeting Israeli military and public infrastructure.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement condemned "Israel’s" strikes on Lebanon as "war crimes," accusing the Israeli regime of using the attacks to distract from internal political crises.

They criticized the international community's inaction, particularly the ICC's failure to prosecute Israeli leaders.

The group also denounced the US for providing "Israel" with unconditional support, making Washington an "actual partner" in the aggression.

The PIJ called for immediate action from the Arab League and the OIC, urging stronger stances against "Israel", including the expulsion of ambassadors and an end to normalization efforts.

Palestine Resistance Committees

The Palestine Resistance Committees in Palestine slammed the Israeli occupation for committing "Nazi-like" crimes, vowing that the occupation’s "strategic folly" would not succeed in breaking the will of the resistance.

Meanwhile, various factions continue to call for a global response, demanding that international bodies like the United Nations and the ICC hold "Israel" accountable for its actions.

Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq Vow Support

In Iraq, Faleh al-Fayyad, head of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), expressed solidarity with Lebanon, referencing a recent statement by Iraq's highest religious authority, Sayyid Ali al-Sistani.

Al-Fayyad offered Iraq’s readiness to provide humanitarian, medical, and logistical support to the Lebanese people as he reaffirmed the religious and humanitarian responsibility to aid Lebanon in its time of need.

"May Allah protect beloved Lebanon—its land, sky, people, and resistance," he said, calling for a coordinated response between the Iraqi government and other official entities to assist Lebanon in its defense and recovery efforts.

Yemen's Ansar Allah Urges Arab Unity

In Yemen, the Ansarallah movement, through their spokesman Mohammed Abdul Salam, voiced similar outrage, condemning "Israel’s" "zionist criminality," attributing the continuation of its operations to unyielding US support.

Ansar Allah reiterated Yemen’s solidarity with Lebanon and Hezbollah, urging Arab and Islamic nations to break their silence and unify in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance movements.

Hezbollah 'paralyzes the north'

The surge in cross-border violence, which began following an escalation of Israeli strikes on Gaza and southern Lebanon, is threatening to drag the entire region into a broader confrontation.

Hezbollah has signaled that it would not stand idly by while "Israel" targets Lebanese civilians.

Yesterday, Israeli media confirmed that the attack carried out by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon on Sunday has effectively "paralyzed the North."

Meanwhile, the US affirmed that will support "defensive" but not "offensive" operations by the Israeli occupation.

"We are there in the defense of Israel, should we need to come to their defense. We’re not going in and supporting offensive ground operations in what they do, whether it be in the north or in Gaza," a Pentagon spokesperson said when asked whether the US would back an Israeli offensive into Lebanon.
