News - Yemen: The Political Bureau of Ansarullah condemned on Tuesday the Zionist aggression on the southern suburb of Beirut and the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian facilities.

In a statement, the Bureau labeled this aggression a blatant violation of Lebanon's sovereignty and international humanitarian law.

It noted that the attack on Lebanon occurred after war criminal Netanyahu's return from the US and the brazen applause in Congress, emphasizing that the Americans are full partners in this crime.

The Bureau expressed solidarity with Lebanon and its resistance against Israeli arrogance, praising Hezbollah’s significant role in supporting the Palestinian people and championing their cause amid abandonment by Arab regimes.

It reiterated its unwavering support for the Yemeni people and Armed Forces until Israeli aggression and arrogance in Gaza cease.

A large explosion ripped through a southern suburb in Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, as the Israeli military carried out a targeted strike against a senior Hezbollah commander, who survived the attack.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported the attack was conducted by a drone that fired three missiles. It said the strike had targeted the area around Hezbollah’s Shoura Council in the Haret Hreik neighborhood of Beirut.

The airstrike was the first in a suburb of Beirut since January, when an Israeli drone attack assassinated senior Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri.

Hezbollah responded to that act of aggression with massive strikes on Israeli military sites, targeting the Israeli military's sensitive Mount Meron air traffic control base for the first time.

Before Tuesday’s strike, a Hezbollah official said the group rejected calls from international envoys to avoid responding to an Israeli attack.

Hezbollah informed mediators it would still respond to any Israeli attack, the official told reporters.

"International envoys are indirectly raising with us the idea that we should not respond to the expected aggression under the pretext of the need to avoid escalation and sliding towards a comprehensive war," the Hezbollah official was quoted by Reuters.

Hezbollah had "informed them of our explicit rejection of this request" and would respond, the official said.

Hezbollah has long said it is prepared for any scenario should Israel deepen the war beyond the border area of southern Lebanon.

The two sides have been exchanging fire on an almost daily basis since early October when the Israeli regime launched the ongoing devastating war on Gaza.

Hezbollah has stated that it will halt its rocket and missile attacks on Israeli targets if the war in Gaza comes to an end.
