“Russia condemns such actions. We consider that they have considerably destabilized the situation in the region,” the spokesman said in response to a corresponding question about Nasrallah’s assassination.

Indiscriminate shelling of residential areas in Lebanon, he stressed, ’causes a large number of casualties, which will inevitably lead to a humanitarian catastrophe,’ as happened in the Gaza Strip.

These consequences, of course, cannot leave us indifferent and provoke our deepest concern, the Kremlin representative expressed.

Israel and Lebanon have been engaged in an undeclared war since October 8, 2023.

Both sides’ actions have been escalating, Israel has eliminated dozens of senior Hezbollah officials, including its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in the past two months, and there are fears that the conflict could escalate into an open or even regional war.

The Lebanese government has already called on the UN to intervene and stop the aggression.
