"We condemn all the bombing currently taking place in Lebanon by the Israeli entity," Shaibani said, speaking from Ankara with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan.

In statements carried by Syria's official SANA agency, Shaibani added that Damascus supports the Iran war truce, adding that they "hope that we will reach a permanent stability that removes the danger from the entire region".

His statements come a day after Israel launched its largest attack on Lebanon since Iran-backed Hezbollah dragged the small country into the Middle East war, killing more than 300 people and wounding more than 1,100 on Wednesday, according to authorities.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Thursday asked his Pakistani counterpart Shehbaz Sharif, who mediated between the US and Iran, to confirm his country is included in the truce.

Shaibani called on the international community to "support Lebanon at this critical moment and to keep the spectre of war away from it", while expressing his country's support for Beirut's efforts to disarm Hezbollah "through national means, away from any external interference".

Hezbollah provided military support to former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, who was overthrown in December 2024 by an Islamist coalition hostile to the Shia movement.

Since then, its supply routes from Syria have been cut off, and Lebanese and Syrian authorities are trying to combat smuggling across the porous border between the two countries.

Beirut committed to disarming Hezbollah in 2025, and in March banned the group's military activities.
