Pakistan has condemned Israel’s “indiscriminate” airstrike on Gaza’s Beit Lahiya and attacks on Lebanon resulting in civilian casualties, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says.

“Pakistan strongly condemns the recent Israeli attacks on Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley and Baalbek region resulting in the tragic loss of civilian lives, including women and children, and the displacement of over a million people,” Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said at a weekly press briefing.

“Pakistan also unequivocally condemns continuing Israeli assault against the people of Northern Gaza and the indiscriminate airstrike on Beit Lahiya which has resulted in the tragic loss of over a 100 Palestinian lives, including women and children,” she added.
