Stop the war, UN chief tells Israel and Hezbollah

UN chief Guterres has called on Israel and Hezbollah to “stop the war” at the start of a visit to Beirut, saying it is “no longer the time of armed groups”.

“My strong appeal to those parties, to Hezbollah and to Israel, is for a ceasefire to stop the war and… allow Lebanon to become a country independent… where its authorities have the monopoly on use of force,” Guterres said in English from the presidential palace, as Lebanon entered its 11th day of war.

“This is no longer the time of armed groups,” Guterres said, in reference to pro-Iran militant group Hezbollah. “This is the time of strong states.”

‘This is just the beginning,’ says Israeli defence minister after Lebanon bridge strike

Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz has reiterated his threat to Lebanon’s government, saying Israel will intensify its attacks on the country, including its civil infrastructure, and seize territory if Lebanon’s government does not disarm Hezbollah.

Speaking after an Israeli military strike on Lebanon’s Zrariyeh bridge over the Litani River earlier today, Katz said: “This is just the beginning.”

“The Lebanese government, which misled and failed to fulfill its commitment to disarm Hezbollah, will pay an increasing price through strikes on Lebanese national infrastructure used by Hezbollah terrorists and through territorial losses, until the central commitment of disarming Hezbollah is fulfilled,” said Katz in comments carried by Israel’s Ynet News site.

An Iranian ambassador says the new supreme leader sustained minor injuries in the strike that killed his father.

“It is not a serious injury and he is recovering,” Mir Masoud Hosseinian, Iran’s ambassador to Tunisia, told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday.

Iranian officials have released little information about the condition of Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, although an Israeli intelligence assessment suggests he was wounded in the war’s opening strikes. He did not appear on television Thursday when his first statement as supreme leader was read by a news anchor.

Hosseinian also denounced the countries hosting U.S. bases in the Gulf and said they had exposed themselves to the conflict.

“We will decide how this war ends,” he said
