In a statement released late this Sunday morning (2), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed indignation about the bombing that took place yesterday (1), in Saddikine, in South Lebanon. Three Brazilians were injured in the attack.
The Brazilian victims receive care at the Lebanese Italiano Hospital, in Tire. The Brazilian Embassy in Beirut is monitoring the case and is in contact with the medical team and families of the injured.
“The episode occurred in the context of attacks by the Israeli armed forces in South Lebanon and by Hezbollah in North Israel”, highlighted the Itamaraty.
“Brazil urges the parties involved in the hostilities to maintain maximum restraint, as well as respect for human rights and humanitarian law, so as to prevent the spread of the conflict in Gaza and avoid new innocent civilian victims”, concludes the note.
Brazilian victims
Three Brazilians — a woman and her two children — were seriously injured after an air attack, this Saturday (1), in the city of Saddikine, in the Qana area, in southern Lebanon.
The circumstances of the bombing are still unclear, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The three were at home at the time of the attack.
The 30-year-old woman is in serious condition. Her 10-year-old daughter suffered serious injuries to her leg and had to undergo surgery. The nine-year-old son is stable.
Southern Lebanon, an area monitored with concern by the Brazilian embassy in the country, is dominated by Hezbollah.
Cells of the Lebanese Shiite militant organization have been attacked in recent months by Israeli forces during the escalating war between Israel and Hamas.
