NNA – Caretaker Interior and Municipalities Minister, Judge Bassam Mawlawi, strongly condemned in a statement this evening, "what the Lebanese Civil Defense team was subjected to by a criminal Israeli enemy drone in the town of Froun, while its members were carrying out a firefighting operation that broke out in the town as a result of the enemy raids, which led to the martyrdom of three firefighters and the injury of another personnel who was transferred to hospital for treatment."

Mawlawi stressed that "these crimes, which are rejected by international law and the human conscience, are condemned and denounced in the strongest terms," adding that “the heroic martyrs of duty have watered the southern land with their blood."
