German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated that he condemns Iran's rocket attacks on Israel.

Scholz emphasized that this attack risks further escalating the already tense situation in the Middle East, saying: "Iran is facing the danger of setting the entire region on fire, and this must be prevented at all costs. Hezbollah and Iran must immediately cease their attacks on Israel."

The Chancellor also highlighted that Iran's attack yesterday was largely thwarted thanks to Israel's air defense forces and its allies, adding:

"Together with our partners, we will continue to work towards achieving a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. Such a ceasefire must be the beginning of the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which clearly calls for the withdrawal of Hezbollah forces from the border region with Israel."
