The new escalation in the Middle East is a matter of serious concern, the message published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry reads.

 

 


On August 25, Israeli drones attacked objects in the Lebanese capital.

 

 


Israeli UAVs attacks were also recorded on August 26. The target was the camp of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

 

 


In addition, as noted in the message of the Russian MFA, Israel continues to strike missile and bomb attacks on targets in Syria, explaining this by "Iranian threat".

 

 


"The Russian side has repeatedly pointed out the danger of such actions in the tense regional atmosphere and warned that they could lead to a large-scale armed conflict with unpredictable consequences. Once again, we call on all parties for maximum restraint and strict compliance with international law, including the relevant UN Security Council resolutions," says the statement.
