Quebec: Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday condemned Israel's military actions inside the Lebanese territory, calling it "an illegal invasion" of the country. "It's an illegal invasion" of Lebanon, Carney told reporters during a news conference in Quebec, adding: "It's a violation of their territorial sovereignty, integrity, and sovereignty."

According to Anadolu Agency, Carney emphasized the stance of the Lebanese government, stating: "From a practical perspective, the Government of Lebanon has banned (the Lebanese group) Hezbollah. It's taking action, is trying to take action against Hezbollah and their terrorist activities and their threats to Israel, and that is the purported justification for this invasion." Carney further reiterated Canada's position by saying, "So, we condemn it."

Israel's military operations in Lebanon have intensified following a cross-border attack by Hezbollah on March 2. The conflict escalated as Israel conducted airstrikes and launched a ground offensive in southern Lebanon.

Lebanese authorities have reported significant casualties as a result of the Israeli military actions, with at least 1,247 people killed and 3,690 injured.
