The rebel group�s spokesman Mohammed Abdelsalam called the attack �a heinous crime and a violation of Lebanese sovereignty.�

�Our condolences and sympathy go to the families of the martyrs in the valiant Islamic resistance, asking God Almighty to have mercy and forgiveness for them, and to grant a speedy recovery to the wounded,� Abdelsalam said in a post on X.

�We are certain that Lebanon is capable of facing all challenges, and has a resistance movement capable of deterring the Zionist enemy entity and making it pay a heavy price for any escalation it may undertake against Lebanon.�
