The Arab League strongly condemned on Tuesday the Israeli attack against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and occupied West Bank.

It slammed the heinous killing of 14 Palestinians and injury of 20 others.

It warned that this dangerous escalation is another chapter in the open war the Israeli government is waging against the Palestinian people, their properties and sanctities as part of its open policy to destroy any chance to achieve peace.

It accused the government of seeking to stoke chaos and violence in the region.

The Arab League held the government fully responsible for the escalation and its consequences on the entire region.

It called on the international community, especially the United Nations Security Council, to intervene immediately to put a stop to the Israeli attacks, provide international protection to the Palestinian people and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Israel carried out at least three air raids on Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday after issuing evacuation orders.

Israel said its air force attacked Hezbollah's intelligence headquarters and an underground workshop for the production of weapons in Beirut.

In a statement, the Israeli military said its fighter jets killed three Hezbollah commanders, including Alhaj Abbas Salameh, a senior figure in the group's southern command, Radja Abbas Awache, a communications expert, and Ahmad Ali Hussein, who it said was responsible for strategic weapons development.
It was not clear if the three were killed in the attack on the headquarters or in separate actions.

A day earlier, Israel carried out heavy strikes on several locations in Beirut's southern suburbs, leaving thick plumes of smoke hanging over the city into the evening.

The strikes targeted "a number of Hezbollah weapons storage facilities and a Hezbollah intelligence headquarters command center,” Israel's military said.

Israel had issued evacuation orders for four separate neighborhoods within the suburbs, urging residents to get 500 meters away, but carried out strikes in other areas as well, witnesses said.

Tens of thousands of people have fled the southern suburbs - once a densely populated zone that also housed Hezbollah offices and underground installations - since Israel began regular strikes there about three weeks ago.

An Israeli air attack on Sept. 27 killed Hezbollah's secretary general Hassan Nasrallah, and strikes nearby have killed other top figures from the Iran-backed group.
