Belgium’s deputy prime minister Petra de Sutter has said she was “shocked” by the toll from Israel’s Monday attacks on Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports.

“492 lives lost in Lebanon. +1600 injured. Tens of 1000s were ordered to flee their homes. In 1 day,” she wrote on X.

“This horrendous attack by Israel won’t lead to any solution for the region. Only diplomacy will bring citizens home safely. Only a ceasefire will end the suffering,” she added.
