The Government of Pakistan on Friday strongly denounced the recent airstrikes conducted by Israeli forces on the southern suburbs of Beirut and parts of southern Lebanon.

Taking place on the eve of Eid al-Adha, these aggressive actions represent a flagrant violation of international law, Lebanon’s sovereignty, and the ceasefire agreement established in November 2024.

The indiscriminate use of military force poses a severe threat to innocent civilian lives, exacerbates regional instability, and jeopardizes ongoing efforts toward achieving lasting peace. In this challenging period, Pakistan expresses unwavering solidarity with the people and government of Lebanon.

Calling for urgent intervention, Pakistan urges the international community, especially the United Nations and ceasefire mediators, to take swift measures to hold the Israeli forces accountable and to prevent any further escalation of conflict.

Reaffirming its steadfast dedication to peace, justice, and adherence to international law principles, Pakistan stresses the need for an immediate and unified global response to address this critical situation.
