Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has denounced "Israel's" recent military assault on Lebanon. 

"Israel's policy of genocide, occupation, and invasion, which has been ongoing since Oct. 7, now targets Lebanon and the Lebanese people," Erdogan stated on X.

He voiced grave regret about the loss of Lebanese lives, particularly children, in what he described as "brutal attacks".

He chastised the world community for supporting "Israel", claiming that while Tel Aviv continues to get "weapons and ammunition support from its backers," it becomes "increasingly reckless, defying all humanity, humanitarian values, and international law."

İsrail’in, 7 Ekim’den bu yana sürdürdüğü soykırım, işgal ve istila politikasının yeni hedefinde Lübnan ve Lübnan halkı vardır.

İsrail’in vahşi saldırıları sonucunda son bir hafta içerisinde aralarında çocukların da olduğu çok sayıda Lübnanlı katledilmiştir.

Vicdan sahibi hiç…

— Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (@RTErdogan) September 28, 2024

He emphasized that "Israel's politics of madness," which is already evident in Gaza and Ramallah, must not spread to Lebanon and other nations in the region.

"No person of conscience can accept, justify, or deem such a massacre legitimate," he wrote. 

The Turkish President urged international institutions, notably the UN Security Council and human rights organizations, to take immediate action and respond to the Israeli aggression.

He also asked the Islamic world to take a "firmer stance" against the atrocities.

The Israeli military renewed a series of intense airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs overnight, destroying residential buildings and igniting widespread fires, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent. 

Israeli warplanes carried out more than 30 airstrikes overnight Friday, targeting buildings in the areas of Burj al-Barajneh, Kafaat, Choueifat, Hadath, al-Laylaki, and Mreijeh. Additionally, the airstrikes hit a house in the Jamous area of the southern suburbs of Beirut, according to our correspondent.

The Israeli airstrikes caused fires and massive destruction in several sites and buildings in the southern suburbs, leading to a wave of forcible displacement.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent also reported that the Israeli bombardment created what resembled "fire belts" in parts of the southern suburbs.
 
Furthermore, a fire broke out as a result of a strike on a fuel station in the Cocodi area, as reported by our correspondent.

Despite the extensive Israeli attacks on the Lebanese capital, air traffic at Beirut Airport continued uninterrupted.

It is worth noting that "Israel" launched a series of airstrikes in a brutal attack on the Haret Hreik area of the southern suburbs on Friday afternoon, leveling six residential buildings. This attack led to the killing of six people and injured 91 others, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health's preliminary toll.

The leader of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, was also martyred in the brutal air raid on Friday.
