Armenia is extremely concerned about the military actions in Lebanon
and their escalation, as well as the great loss of civilian life.

Armenia condemns any violence whether it be abduction or use of
force. We particularly denounce the use of such disproportionate
force intended solely to collectively punish civilians and damage
infrastructure.

This kind of reaction by Israel is particularly difficult to understand
given the fact that the Lebanese government has clearly distanced
itself from the abduction incident.

We hope that there will be restraint in the region and also hope there
will be an immediate ceasefire so that the issues can be addressed
by peaceful means.
