Condemnations poured in following the Israeli aggression that hit on Friday a residential neighborhood in the Haret Hreik area in Beirut's Southern Suburb.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health mentioned in an initial toll that the Israeli airstrikes killed six people and injured 91 others.
This comes in parallel with the massive aggression that "Israel" has launched since Monday against South Lebanon and the Bekaa region to its east, which has killed more than 700 people, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed that Israeli aggression is an overt war crime that cannot be concealed, expressing his solidarity with the people and government of Lebanon and the families of the martyrs.
This aggression reveals the true nature of state terrorism practiced by the Israeli occupation entity, Pezeshkian pointed out.
On its part, the Iranian embassy in Lebanon warned that the latest Israeli crime is a serious escalation that changes the rules of engagement and will bring appropriate punishment and discipline to its perpetrator.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry also denounced the Israeli aggression as a "savage attack carried out with US-made bombs" and a blatant violation of international law and Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Tehran also described the aggression as a clear war crime, stressing that the US regime, as "Israel’s" partner, must be held accountable.
"We will stand by Hezbollah until the very last moment," Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf made it clear.

Palestinian factions
The Hamas movement underscored that the escalating terrorism against the Lebanese people, due to their support for the Palestinian cause, demands that our Arab and Islamic nations break their silence.
The Palestinian group reaffirmed its "absolute solidarity" with the Lebanese people and the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, adding that it deeply values their sacrifices in this battle in support of the Palestinian people and resistance.
The al-Mujahideen movement emphasized that the genocide being waged by "Israel" would not be possible without the unlimited American support for the Nazi Israeli government.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement also labeled the Israeli aggression as a "savage and Nazi act" and a war crime for which all those who applauded Netanyahu’s lies at the United Nations are responsible.
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) said the "Nazi-Zionist government" insists on igniting war in the region, but it will be consumed in its own fire.
The DFLP reaffirmed its support for the Resistance and the Lebanese people, confident in their ability to make the enemy pay for these crimes and prevent it from achieving its goals.
The Fatah al-Intifada movement described the Israeli attack as a "treacherous aggression", saying it highly valued the great sacrifices made by Hezbollah and the Lebanese people in confronting the Israeli enemy.
Al-Ahrar movement said the targeting of military leaders in civilian areas has become a claim the Israeli occupation repeats with every crime.
The Resistance Committees in Palestine pointed out that the latest aggression confirms the Nazi, fascist, and criminal nature of the Israeli occupation entity and its leaders.
The Resistance Committees said the Israeli crimes, carried out before the world with American coordination and weaponry, prove that the only way to deter the criminal enemy and its allies is by escalating acts of resistance.
Yemeni condemnation
Ansar Allah spokesperson Mohammad Abdulsalam indicated that the hysteric Israeli bombardment on Beirut's Southern Suburb reveals the extent of the enemy’s frustration and despair in the face of the Islamic Resistance’s resilience.
He underlined that the enemy awaits an inevitable defeat that will put it on the path to demise.
The Ansar Allah Political Bureau also affirmed that the targeting of densely populated Southern Suburbs of Beirut is unprecedented savagery, adding that "Israel" would not have dared act in this way without the unlimited support from the West and the US.
An extension of the ongoing genocide in Gaza
Sayyed Ammar al-Hakim, the head of the Iraqi National Wisdom Movement, said the Israeli aggression proves to the world that the occupation knows no boundaries in its criminality.
The Iraqi Islamic Supreme Council strongly condemned the aggression, denouncing a "terrorist act" carried out by the Israeli occupation government against Lebanon.
The Council said the brutal aggression against civilians in Lebanon is an extension of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, which would not have been possible without the unlimited support from the US and the West, and the international community’s disregard for these crimes.
