RIYADH: Saudi Arabia on Saturday condemned the latest Israeli attacks on Lebanon.

Israel killed a number of Lebanese soldiers as it was targeting their vehicle in southern Lebanon.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the Kingdom rejected the “continuation of the Israeli aggression against the Lebanese Republic,” and the “targeting Lebanon’s sovereignty” and its army.

It further extended Saudi Arabia’s condolences to those killed in the strikes, including soldiers on duty, expressing Riyadh’s solidarity with Lebanon “and its brotherly people toward anyone who threatens its security and stability.”

Israel begun launching strikes on Lebanon on March 2 in response to militant group Hezbollah entering the US-Israeli war against Iran on the side of Tehran following the killing of the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei.
