New Delhi: The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah on Tuesday launched fresh drone attacks targeting the Isreali military in the northern borders of Palestine.
Iran-backed Hezbollah targeted the Israeli military using Katyusha rockets at the newly established headquarters of the 146th division in Giaton. Reports say Israel’s Iron Dome failed to intercept the drone attack resulting in a massive fire in the region.
France, Germany and Britain endorse push for cease-fire in Gaza
The leaders of France, Germany and Britain in a joint statement have endorsed the latest push by mediators United States, Qatar and Egypt to broker an agreement to end the 10-month Israel-Hamas war. They also call for the return of scores of hostages held by Hamas and the “unfettered” delivery of humanitarian aid.
Mediators have spent months trying to get the sides to agree to a three-phase plan in which Hamas would release the remaining hostages captured in its October 7 attack in exchange for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel and Israel would withdraw from Gaza. Talks have been expected to resume Thursday.
The statement was signed by French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. It also called on Iran and its allies to refrain from any retaliatory attacks that would further escalate regional tensions after the killing of two senior militants last month in Beirut and Tehran.
The German government said Chancellor Olaf Scholz has appealed to Iran’s new president to do everything to prevent a further military escalation in the Middle East.
Scholz spoke by phone Monday with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and “expressed his great concern about the danger of a regional conflagration in the Middle East”.
The government did not say who initiated the call. It said Scholz made clear that “the spiral of violence in the Middle East must now be broken”.
