China has expressed its opposition to any infringement on Lebanon‘s sovereignty, as stated by the foreign ministry on its website following an Israeli airstrike in Beirut that resulted in the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

His death is perceived as a significant setback for the Iran-aligned group, which is currently facing an intensifying series of Israeli assaults.

The Chinese government calls on all parties, particularly Israel, to de-escalate the situation and prevent the conflict from escalating or spiraling out of control, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Furthermore, China denounces any actions that endanger innocent civilians and opposes any measures that would worsen the conflict, as highlighted by the foreign ministry.
