On Sunday evening, June 7, 2026, Iran responded to the Israeli attack that targeted the Marijeh area in Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs, which resulted in two people being killed and 20 Lebanese civilians injured. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched several missiles at an Israeli military base in northern occupied Palestine, stating that it \u201cwas the launch point for the attack on the southern suburbs.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement, the IRGC said: \u201cIn response to the extensive crimes committed by the Zionist entity in southern Lebanon, which included killing and widespread displacement of civilians in the areas of Tyre, Nabatieh, and other regions including the southern suburbs of Beirut, the Aerospace Force of the Guard targeted the \u2018Ramat David Airbase\u2019\u2014which served as the launch point for these attacks\u2014with ballistic missiles.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The IRGC added: \u201cWe responded to the widespread Zionist crime in southern Lebanon and the accompanying killing and displacement across other areas, including the southern suburbs. Our acceptance of the ceasefire was conditional on a halt to hostilities on all fronts. However, the United States and Israel, as usual, did not honor their commitments and continued military actions and attacks in Lebanon. They also violated the ceasefire through repeated actions against Iranian coasts and vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the Sea of Oman, and the Indian Ocean.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It stated that \u201ctonight\u2019s operation is merely a warning,\u201d emphasizing that \u201cif the attacks are repeated, the responses will be broader and will include all American\u2013Zionist targets in the region.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters Warns Israel**<\/strong><\/p>\n

For his part, the commander of Iran\u2019s Khatam al\u2011Anbiya Headquarters stated that \u201cthe aggressive Zionist entity continues to escalate its attacks against the oppressed Lebanese people day after day through repeated violations of the ceasefire, with a green light and support from the criminal United States and amid the silence of international institutions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement, the commander said: \u201cDespite previous warnings issued by the Islamic Republic, the child\u2011killing Zionist entity has crossed all red lines and escalated its attacks in southern Lebanon, targeting Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs.\u201d He added: \u201cWe had previously warned that if attacks on Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs expanded, we would target sites inside the occupied territories.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He called on the Israeli army to \u201cstop its attacks on southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs,\u201d warning that \u201cif these attacks expand or if there is retaliation against any action taken by Iran, the Zionist entity will face more painful and decisive strikes, and destructive operations will be carried out against the entity and its supporters.\u201d He also accused Israel of committing war crimes by using prohibited weapons, including phosphorus bombs.<\/strong><\/p>\n
