If Israel attacks Lebanon, it will have serious consequences for the country.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said this during a telephone conversation with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.

Iran threatens Israel

Earlier, Israeli authorities accused the Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah of firing rockets at a football field in the Golan Heights on July 27. At the time, 12 children and teenagers were killed, and Israel promised a serious response.

Any possible attack by Israel on Lebanon would have serious consequences for Israel, Iranian state media quoted Pezeshkian as saying.

French President Emmanuel Macron spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on July 28, as Paris seeks to prevent a major escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.

Following the attack on the Israeli town of Majdal Shams, the Israeli army launched a series of airstrikes against Hezbollah military targets in Lebanon. The attacks targeted both deep in the rear and in the south of the country near the border with Israel.
