Statement Issued by Hezbollah:

Hezbollah denies any connection to the incident that occurred with UNIFIL forces in the Al-Ghandouriya-Bint Jbeil area, and calls for caution in drawing conclusions or assigning blame regarding the incident, pending the Lebanese Army’s investigation to fully ascertain the circumstances of the incident.

Hezbollah also emphasizes the need for continued cooperation between the local population, UNIFIL, and the Lebanese Army, stressing the necessity of coordination between the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL in their operations, particularly under these delicate circumstances.

In this context, Hezbollah expresses surprise at the positions of those who rushed to make reckless accusations, while these same parties remain silent and are nowhere to be found when the Israeli enemy attacks UNIFIL forces.

The Ministers further affirm that such measures constitute a clear violation of the principles of international law, the United Nations Charter, and the Constitutive Act of the African Union, and represent a dangerous precedent that undermines stability in the Horn of Africa region, with negative repercussions on regional peace and security in general.
