Hezbollah Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, received on Friday Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and an accompanying delegation to discuss the latest regional developments, especially the ongoing Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and the brutal Israeli aggression on Gaza.

The continued Israeli occupation attacks on al-Aqsa and its crimes in the occupied West Bank were also among the meeting's main topics.

Moreover, consultations took place regarding the possible outcomes of the current events and the responsibilities every party should bear, as well as the positions that should be taken vis-à-vis these historic events and serious developments.

Amir-Abdollahian embarked on Thursday on a regional tour that will include Iraq, Lebanon, and a final stop in Syria.

Earlier today, Iran's top diplomat held a meeting with Lebanon's Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati.

During the meeting, he warned that the ongoing events in Gaza could extend to other areas in the region unless Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stops his devastating war against the Gaza Strip.

Iran's Foreign Minister further pointed out that his visit's main objective is Lebanon’s security and maintaining calm, suggesting that regional leaders hold a common meeting to discuss the ongoing developments.

Moreover, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Lebanese counterpart Abdullah Bou Habib on Friday held a press conference after their meeting in Beirut.

Iran's top diplomat warned that if the war crimes of the Zionist regime will not be stopped, any possibility is conceivable.

Stressing that the world nowadays is witnessing a war crime against the Palestinian people in Gaza,  he said, "We agreed that this crime against innocent people should be stopped and an urgent meeting should be held at the level of Islamic countries."

This Iranian official emphasized that while the US side sends different messages to different directions in the region, in pursuit of restraint and the prevention of the expansion of the scope of the war, it is ridiculous and funny that while recommending restraint, the Israeli entity embarks on killing Palestinian women and children in Gaza.

Amir-Abdollahian said the US cannot send weapons and bombs to kill Palestinians with one hand and call on other parties to keep restraint with the other side.

Bu Habib, for his part, said in the press conference that everyone should put pressure on "Israel" to end the war, stressing that stability in the region can only be achieved through a just path for Palestine.

Bu Habib added that both sides in their meeting have discussed the situation in Gaza and the necessity of preventing the scope of the war.

The Lebanese senior diplomat added, "We stand by the Palestinian people and demand an end to the siege of Gaza and condemn the crimes of the Zionist regime."

Upon his arrival to Beirut, the Iranian Foreign Minister told Al Mayadeen that Iran continues to strongly support the Palestinian Resistance, politically and media-wise, emphasizing that opening other fronts against the Israeli occupation entity is a possibility amid the ongoing aggression, war crimes, and siege on Gaza.

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood came in response to the crimes of the Zionist entity, he stressed, affirming the rejection of the ongoing aggression against the Palestinian people.

Meanwhile, in the first phone call between the two leaders, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi agreed with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) on Wednesday on the necessity of ending war crimes against occupied Palestine, sharing the mutual belief that "the regime's crimes & the US green light will cause destructive insecurity for the regime & backers."

Raisi also contacted leaders of the Palestinian Resistance factions of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad following the start of the operation last Saturday.

Latest on devestated Gaza

The Palestinian Health Ministry revealed on Thursday that the total number of Palestinians martyred in the brutal Israeli aggression has surpassed 1,500 and the wounded are now over 6,600, noting that over half of the martyrs are children and women: 447 children and 248 women.

In the most recent update, the Israeli occupation entity said in a statement early Friday that 1.1 million people living in northern Gaza must evacuate within the next 24 hours, hinting at plans to start a much-feared ground invasion of the devastated Strip that has been under nonstop bombing since last Saturday.

Responding to the Israeli announcement, the United Nations warned that this order would be "impossible" to take place, sounding the alarm on "devastating humanitarian consequences.”

"The United Nations strongly appeals for any such order, if confirmed, to be rescinded avoiding what could transform what is already a tragedy into a calamitous situation."

Meanwhile, the Israeli bombing of besieged Gaza continued throughout Thursday night for the sixth consecutive day since the launching of the Palestinian Resistance Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, last Saturday morning, in response to the ongoing unbearable Israeli crimes against Palestinians.

The dark-time airstrikes were one of the most violent yet, targeting entire residential neighborhoods and buildings, leaving nothing but dust, debris, and casualties behind as the number of martyrs continues to rise horrifically.

Furthermore, the number of forcefully displaced people in Gaza had risen by an additional 84,444 people and reached 423,378, the UN humanitarian agency OCHA said in a statement sent on Friday.

As a result of the continued unprecedented Israeli aggression, "most residents in the Gaza Strip no longer have access to drinking water from service providers or domestic water through pipelines," OCHA said. "UNICEF reports some have already begun drinking seawater" in response to the lack of clean water, it added.
