Lebanese officials and leaders of political parties condemned the Israeli aggression on Beirut's Southern Suburb, as Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati stated that Lebanon would retain its full right to deter Israeli aggression. 

The Israeli aggression on a residential building in Haret Hreik killed at least three citizens and injured 74 others, the Ministry of Health reported on Tuesday. 

The Lebanese prime minister said that Lebanon will "place the aggression before the international community, which must exert all its strength to compel Israel to cease its aggression and threats."

"We will retain our full right to take all measures to deter Israeli aggression," Mikati underlined. 

The Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib spoke to Reuters in the aftermath of the strike, saying that Lebanon plans to file a complaint to the United Nations.

Bou Habib hoped for a proportionate response to the Israeli aggression by Hezbollah, as per Reuters, "so that this wave of killing will stop."

Lebanese Minister of Public Works and Transport Ali Hamieh told Al Mayadeen that the strike "reflects the malice of the Israeli enemy."

Superior Shia Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan said the attack on the Southern Suburb of Beirut is "a mad act," describing the decision to attack the area as "a desperate Zionist suicide."

On his part, the head of the Marada Movement Sleiman Frangieh condemned and denounced the "brutal aggression."

"Every day it becomes clear that there is no way to liberate or confront this enemy other than through resistance," the leader of the Marada party underlined. 

The political aide to the Lebanese Parliament Speaker Ali Hassan Khalil told Al Mayadeen that the strike "is a direct Israeli aggression against Lebanon."

He said that Lebanon's position is clear, "Israel will bear the consequences of any aggression it carries out."

"The official Lebanese stance is rational and balanced, reflecting the Lebanese people's right to reject Israeli aggression and defend their land," he added. 

Moreover, the head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Member of Parliament Gebran Bassil, said "Israel must know it will not overcome Lebanon’s Resistance."

"As Lebanese, we must recognize that our national solidarity, despite our political differences, is what saves us all," he added.

The Islamic Group in Lebanon condemned the attack and said the Israeli regime "added a new crime to its list of crimes committed against civilians in Palestine and Lebanon."

"We affirm our right and the right of the Resistance [factions], alongside the Lebanese Army, to defend our people and cities and repel the aggression," the movement added. 

Member of Parliament Faisal Karami lambasted the international community for its inactions regarding Israeli aggressions.

"The primary responsibility for igniting this war lies with the international community, which watches our blood and destruction," he stressed.
