Ali Abdollahi, chief commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, warned that Israel will face more “crushing and regret-inducing blows” if it expands its attacks on southern Lebanon and Dahieh district south of the Lebanese capital, Beirut or responds to Iran’s action.
In a statement aired by Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency on Sunday (local time), he stressed that Israel must stop its attacks on southern Lebanon and Dahieh; otherwise, “devastating” attacks will begin against Israel and its supporters.
Israel has increased its “malicious actions” against Lebanese people on a daily basis with the US “greenlight” and international organisations’ lack of response and “is perpetrating war crimes by using banned weapons, including phosphorus bombs,” Abdollahi said.
Despite Iran’s earlier warnings, Israel has increased its attacks on southern Lebanon and has targeted Dahieh by crossing all red lines, he said.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday that its aerospace force has launched ballistic missiles at the Ramat David Air Base in northern Israel in response to Israel’s “widespread crimes” in southern Lebanon, including the killing and displacement of civilians, reports Xinhua news agency, citing local media.
