Thousands of people attended the funeral of a top commander of the Lebanese military group Hezbollah on Monday.
Those attending the funeral condemned the Israeli attack. They chanted slogans in favor of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to the Israeli media Times of Israel . Earlier on Sunday, Israel attacked the Haret Herik area in the Lebanese capital Beirut, killing five people, including Hezbollah military chief Haitham Ali Tabawai.
Haitham Ali
is also known as Sayyid Abu Ali . According to Israeli media, there had been two previous attempts to kill him. Which failed. A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah was reached in November 2024 under US mediation. But UN experts say that Israel has repeatedly violated it.
France has expressed concern that the latest airstrikes could worsen the situation in Lebanon. In a statement issued by the French Foreign Ministry on Monday, it urged the ceasefire monitoring mechanism to work to prevent potential clashes and not to take unilateral steps.
Israel has been carrying out continuous airstrikes in Lebanon for the past few weeks. Israel and the US are also pressuring Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah.
Israel accuses Hezbollah of trying to take advantage of the ceasefire to increase its military strength. The Lebanese government has denied Israel's accusations that it supports Hezbollah's disarmament.
