Ankara, April 8 (AFP) Apr 08, 2026
Turkey "firmly condemns" ongoing Israeli strikes on Lebanon, which Israel and the United States say are not covered by the US-Iranian ceasefire, the foreign ministry said in a statement Wednesday evening.

At least 112 people were killed and 837 more were wounded in Lebanon Wednesday after Israel launched a wave of strikes unprecedented in the current war, according to the latest Lebanese health ministry toll.

"We firmly condemn the Israeli attacks that have intensified against Lebanon, causing numerous casualties," said the statement from Turkey, a key regional player.

"These attacks are worsening the humanitarian situation in the country," said the ministry.

"The international community must act immediately to put an end to the Israeli occupation of Lebanon and protect civilians," the statement added.
