Iran’s foreign ministry has condemned Israel’s recent attacks on southern Lebanon which killed 11 people, including children.

Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Iran “regrets” the international community’s “continued silence and inaction of the United Nations Security Council in the face of blatant violations of international law and international human rights law”.

In the worst attacks since Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement to stop fighting in June, homes were destroyed in Ansar, Ali al-Tahir Heights, Nabatieh al-Fouqa and Deir al-Zahran.
