Asunción, Agencia IP.- The Paraguayan Foreign Ministry expressed the government’s position of «strong condemnation of the attack perpetrated by the Islamic Republic of Iran against the State of Israel,» which took place this Tuesday.
According to a message posted on its X account, Paraguay «reaffirms its full support for Israel’s legitimate right to exercise its defense.»
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard said on Tuesday that the missiles were launched against military targets in Israel and assured that 90% of the projectiles reached their targets.
It assured that among the targets hit were those where the assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, secretary general of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah, and an Iranian general were planned.
The Israeli army began its ground invasion of areas in southern Lebanon early Tuesday morning, shortly before bombing those areas and the outskirts of Beirut, as it has done in recent nights. In these latest bombings, it announced that Hezbollah commander Muhammad Jaafar Qasir and the commander of the Iman Hussein Division, Dhu Al Faqar Hinawi, had been killed.
Days earlier, the Israeli government announced the death of Hezbollah’s deputy secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike.
