France and Canada Urge Israel to Respect Lebanon's Sovereignty Amid Ground Operation Reports

France and Canada have condemned Israel's actions in violating Lebanon's sovereignty and urged it to respect the country's national sovereignty and territorial integrity while avoiding any escalation of regional tensions.

The statements come amid reports that Israel is preparing a ground operation aimed at capturing approximately 30 kilometers of territory in southern Lebanon.

According to RTA, since the beginning of March, attacks by Israel have killed at least 1,072 people and wounded nearly 3,000 others in Lebanon. These casualty figures have not been independently corroborated by other outlets.

Multiple sources, including Al Jazeera, SANA, Haaretz and Milli Chronicle, have reported on the condemnations by France and Canada in the context of rising tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border.

The diplomatic push for restraint follows ongoing cross-border exchanges that have intensified since early March, with reports indicating preparations for a potential Israeli ground incursion into southern Lebanon.
