Egypt has issued a stern warning about the dangers of opening a new war front in Lebanon, referencing the recent events in the occupied Golan Heights, according to the “State Information Service” website.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry expressed deep concern that these developments could potentially ignite a broader regional conflict. Cairo highlighted the risks following the recent events in Majdal Shams, a village in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, cautioning that such actions could lead to a comprehensive regional war.
The Egyptian government stressed the importance of preserving Lebanon’s stability and supporting its people.
Cairo urged the international community to intervene promptly to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, which could have catastrophic consequences for the entire region and undermine global peace and security.
Additionally, Egypt reiterated its call for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza. The Egyptian government emphasized the urgent need to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to prevent the conflict from destabilizing the broader Middle East.
The warning came after Israel announced on Sunday that it had struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon following a rocket attack that allegedly killed 12 children and young adults playing football in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Israel’s air force blamed the Iran-backed militant group for the strike on the Druze town of Majdal Shams, although Hezbollah has vehemently denied any involvement.
