Egypt condemns Israeli attack on Lebanese army patrol

The Arab Republic of Egypt condemns in the strongest terms the brutal Israeli attack that targeted a Lebanese army patrol, resulting in the death of two officers and a soldier. Egypt considers this a dangerous escalation and a blatant violation of the sovereignty of brotherly Lebanon, as well as a clear breach of international law and the provisions of international humanitarian law.

Egypt emphasizes the necessity for the international community to assume its responsibilities to halt the repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanese territory and to compel Israel to respect Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Egypt warns that the continuation of this escalation will lead to further tension, chaos, and instability in the region.

Egypt also stresses the importance of supporting intensive regional and international diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating the situation and preventing the conflict from spreading, thereby contributing to the strengthening of regional security and stability.
