Hezbollah has informed UNIFIL that any escalation towards Beirut or civilians will be met with retaliation deep within Israeli territory.

In parallel, the newly elected Iranian President Masoud Bezhskian told French President Emmanuel Macron in a phone call that "any potential Israeli attack on Lebanon will have severe consequences."

Meanwhile, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati has intensified his diplomatic contacts following recent Israeli threats to Lebanon. In this context, he received a call from British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who "renewed the call for all parties to exercise restraint to prevent escalation" and urged "to resolve disputes peacefully and through the implementation of relevant international resolutions." He also received a call from Egyptian Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdel Aty, with whom he emphasized that "the solution must be based on the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701." The Egyptian minister expressed his country's solidarity with Lebanon, standing by it, and rejecting any aggression against it.

These developments have led some Arab and foreign countries to warn their citizens against traveling to Lebanon to ensure their safety and to suspend some flights from several countries.

Regionally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who inspected the site of the rocket fall in the Golan Heights, vowed that "our response will come and it will be harsh."

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the Gaza Strip has become a polio epidemic area due to the dire conditions resulting from the war and Israel's denial of basic life necessities to Gazans.

Internationally, the White House stated that Israel has every right to respond to Hezbollah's attack. It expressed confidence in avoiding a broader war between Israel and Hezbollah despite the deadly rocket attack in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said that US and Israeli officials held talks at multiple levels over the weekend following the attack and that the risk of a full-scale conflict is exaggerated.
