Jordan warned on Sunday of the risk of an all-out regional war after a deadly attack that killed 12 young people in the Golan Heights and was attributed by Israel to the Lebanese Hezbollah, according to Agence France Presse.
Jordan's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it warned against the dangerous escalation in southern Lebanon and the repercussions of igniting a new war in the region.
The Ministry also warned that the escalation in southern Lebanon could lead to the expansion of the war into a comprehensive regional war.
The Ministry's Spokesperson Sufyan Al-Qudah stressed the importance of supporting Lebanon, its security, stability, and the safety of its people and institutions.
He emphasized that the continued Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip pushes towards further escalation and tension and threatens to expand the conflict regionally.
He affirmed the need to launch an effective international action that imposes an immediate cessation of the aggression and ends the resulting humanitarian catastrophe to protect the Palestinian people from further massacres and destruction and to protect regional and international security and stability.
On Sunday, Israel vowed to “hit the enemy hard” after rocket fire from Lebanon killed 12 young people in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights and again raised fears that the war in Gaza will spread.
