Tehran, IRNA -- Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement has strongly condemned the deadly Israeli attack on the Ain Al-Hilweh refugee camp in Sidon, Lebanon.

Hezbollah issued a strong condemnation on Wednesday regarding the horrific massacre carried out by Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday night in the Ain Al-Hilweh camp in Sidon, according to Lebanon's Al Manar news network.

The attack resulted in the deaths of 13 Palestinian civilians and left many others wounded, targeting a densely populated area filled with civilians and children.

Hezbollah described the assault as a brutal act that adds to the long record of crimes and systematic oppression committed by the Israeli forces against Palestinians, Lebanese, and people throughout the region.

The statement emphasized that this bloodshed constitutes not only an assault on Lebanon's sovereignty but also a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement and UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which Israel repeatedly breaches with the overt support—and at times planning—of the United States administration.

Hezbollah warned that any display of leniency, weakness, or submission by Lebanon's state authorities would only embolden Israel's aggression, leading to further massacres and violations. Mere reactive measures, the statement stressed, are insufficient and risk encouraging continued Israeli attacks.

The group called for a firm and unified national stance to confront Israeli crimes, urging Lebanon to leverage all available means of power to deter and counter aggression, safeguard its sovereignty, and protect its security.

Hezbollah concluded by extending its deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs, the residents of Ain Al-Hilweh, and the Palestinian people, praying for mercy on the deceased and swift recovery for the wounded.
