The Iraqi government announced on Tuesday that it was following up on the high-risk security developments in Lebanon, as well as the Israeli attack that targeted telecommunication devices, leading to injuries and fatalities across the country. 

"These events, alongside the recurrent threats and other violations perpetrated by the aggressive entity, as well as threatening to launch a wide-scale war on Lebanon, necessitate urgent international interference to prevent the slip of matters to the expansion of the war," the government said in a statement. 

Iraq further highlighted that the war has been targeting the people of Gaza, as well as civilians in the occupied West Bank and South Lebanon, causing tragedies, while the Israeli occupation forces are allowed to implement their plots to expand and occupy more lands.

The Iraqi prime minister, Mohammed al-Sudani, consequently issued directives and sent medical and emergency response teams to Lebanon to provide urgent assistance and "reduce the pains of the injured innocent civilians." 

In turn, Iraqi Kataib Hezbollah has declared, "We put all our capabilities at the disposal of our brothers in Lebanon and are fully prepared to stand by them until the end."
