Russia has called on Israel to withdraw its troops from Lebanon and warned that a ground operation would have more severe consequences.

As tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East, Russia has called on Israel to withdraw its troops from Lebanon. In a statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry, Israel's attack on Lebanon was strongly condemned, with a warning that this move would further increase violence in the region.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that it had launched a "limited" ground operation in Lebanon early this morning. It was reported that commando and paratrooper units had entered the area as part of the operation. In parallel with this development, the Iran-backed Hezbollah organization also launched missile attacks against Israel. Hezbollah claimed to have targeted an IDF intelligence base located near Herzliya in central Israel.

The Russian Foreign Ministry, highlighting the seriousness of the situation, made the following statement: "Russia strongly condemns the attack on Lebanon and calls on Israeli officials to immediately cease hostilities, withdraw their troops from Lebanese territory, and engage in a genuine pursuit to resolve the Middle East conflict through peaceful means."

These developments have led to an increase in tensions in the region, reflecting the growing concerns of the international community. Experts are warning about the potential for the conflict to expand and are urging both sides to exercise restraint.
