The European Union has condemned recent Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, urging Israel to respect the ceasefire agreement and United Nations resolution. The strikes, which Israel claims targeted the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, have drawn criticism from both the Lebanese army and President Joseph Aoun, who accuse Israel of destabilizing Lebanon and hindering the army's deployment. Iran has also denounced the attacks, calling for international intervention. The European Union has called on all parties, including Hezbollah, to avoid actions that could escalate tensions and to focus on preserving the ceasefire.
