Amidst the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, recent Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip have led to significant casualties and infrastructure damage. These operations resulted in 27 deaths, with dozens more injured and reported missing.
Adding to the turmoil, a hospital in Baalbek-Hermel was damaged during the Israeli raids, as reported by Lebanese TV station Al-Jadeed. In response to these heightened tensions, the Israeli military successfully intercepted three missile launches that originated from Lebanon.
The enduring conflict between Israel and Lebanon has tragically claimed the lives of more than 2,300 people in Lebanon. In light of these developments, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has reaffirmed the Chinese mainland's commitment to playing a constructive role in promoting the de-escalation of the conflict. \"China will continue to demonstrate a sense of duty as a responsible major country and play a constructive role in promoting the cooling down of the conflict in the Middle East,\" Wang Yi stated on Monday.
