Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Sunday strongly condemned Israel's frequent military "aggressions" against Lebanon.
In a statement, he pointed in particular to Israel's early Saturday drone strikes on six heavy equipment yards in Al-Msaylih village in southern Lebanon, in which one person was killed and seven others injured.
In its airstrikes, Israel targeted the machinery and equipment used in debris removal and reconstruction operations in the residential areas damaged in its previous attacks, Baghaei said, adding that through its repeated attacks, Israel was constantly violating Lebanon's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Israel's "frequent violations of the ceasefire agreement (with Hezbollah) and military aggressions against Lebanon's territorial integrity and sovereignty constitute flagrant violations of the United Nations Charter and international law," he said.
Baghaei called on the international community to take serious actions to rein in Israel's "lawbreaking and warmongering" against Lebanon and other countries in the West Asia region.

The European Commission's autumn 2025 economic forecast shows that driven by a surge in exports in anticipation of U.S. tariff increases, the European Union's (EU) economy maintained growth in the third quarter of this year, and it is expected to continue expanding at a moderate pace over the forecast horizon.
In the report released on Monday, the Commission said the gross domestic product (GDP) of the EU is expected to grow 1.4 percent in 2025, with the eurozone expanding 1.3 percent. Growth in 2026 is forecast at 1.4 percent for the EU and 1.2 percent for the eurozone, both slightly lower than projections made in May.
Eurozone headline inflation is projected to ease to 2.1 percent this year from 2.4 percent in 2024. Inflation across the EU is seen declining from 2.6 percent in 2024 to 2.2 percent in 2027, remaining slightly above the eurozone rate.
Due to the increase in defence spending, the EU's fiscal deficit is expected to rise to 3.4 percent of GDP in 2027 from 3.1 percent in 2024. The EU debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to rise from 84.5 percent in 2024 to 85 percent in 2027, with the eurozone ratio set to rise from around 88 percent to 90.4 percent.
The forecast noted that globally, trade barriers have reached historic highs, and the EU now faces higher average tariffs on exports to the U.S. compared with the spring forecast. Persistent trade policy uncertainty continues to weigh on economic activity, with tariffs and non-tariff restrictions potentially constraining EU growth more than expected. Any escalation in geopolitical tensions could intensify supply shocks, it noted.
