ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Foreign Office (FO) Spokesperson, on Sunday, condemned Israel’s killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, calling it a “reckless” escalation in an already volatile region.
The FO called the developments “growing adventures” that are destabilising the region. In a strongly worded statement, the spokesperson expressed deep concern over Israel’s relentless attacks on civilian populations and its violation of international laws, which have reportedly reached alarming levels.

“For the past several days, Israeli forces have been violating Lebanon’s sovereignty in an unacceptable manner, relentlessly targeting civilian population centers, and undermining its stability and security,” the statement said.
Pakistan has expressed solidarity with Lebanon, offering its deepest condolences to the families of the victims affected by the ongoing Israeli aggression.
The spokesperson also highlighted the killing of the Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon, warning that this has only further escalated instability in an already volatile region. “Such acts are aggravating the fragile security situation,” the spokesperson remarked, urging the international community to take urgent notice of these developments.
