President Joseph Aoun on Saturday convened a security meeting to discuss the latest developments in light of the major escalation between Israel and Iran.

Lebanon’s National News Agency said Friday that an Israeli interception missile exploded over the southern Lebanese town of Ibl al-Saqi, as Israel’s Channel 14 said two interception missiles were fired at Iranian drones over Syria and Lebanon.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Friday condemned Israel’s massive attack on Iran’s nuclear and missile facilities and top military leaders and nuclear scientists, saying Israel’s hostile actions in the region “represent a cross-border threat to independent countries and to international security and stability.”

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem warned Friday that Israel’s massive attack on Iran “will have major repercussions on the region’s stability, seeing as it will not pass without a response and punishment.”

Hezbollah warned Friday that Israel's strikes on its main foreign backer Iran "threaten to ignite the region".

The group, which fought a two-month war with Israel last year, condemned the "brutal Israeli aggression" against Iranian nuclear facilities and scientists and said Israel was "engaging in adventures that threaten to ignite the entire region".

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry on Friday condemned Israel’s massive attack on Iran as a “flagrant violation of national sovereignty and international law and a breach of the U.N. Charter.”

The Lebanese Army has communicated with Hezbollah as part of “holding onto the Lebanese principles and refusing that Lebanon be dragged into any confrontation,” governmental sources told Al-Jadeed TV, after Israel launched a massive attack on Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced late Thursday that the U.S. remains "committed to a Diplomatic Resolution to the Iran Nuclear Issue," amid soaring tensions and reports of a possible Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Israel is prepared to attack Iran in the coming days if Tehran rejects a U.S. proposal that would place tough limits on its nuclear program, Trump administration and Israeli officials told the Wall Street Journal.

A senior Israeli official warned in remarks to the U.S. newspaper that a strike could come as soon as Sunday unless Iran agrees to halt production of fissile material that can be used to make an atomic bomb.

A wave of Israeli airstrikes targeted several areas deep in south Lebanon on Thursday evening, as Israeli drones overflew Beirut's southern suburbs.

The strikes hit the al-Rihan heights in the Jezzine district, the Tebna area in the Sidon district and the outskirts of the Jezzine district town of al-Aishiyeh, which is President Joseph Aoun's hometown. Strikes also targeted the West Bekaa area of al-Srayra.
