Russia says Israel bears full responsibility for almost inevitable escalation

Russia’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned “yet another political assassination” by Israel, referring to Nasrallah’s killing. “This forceful action is fraught with even greater dramatic consequences for Lebanon and the entire Middle East,” the ministry said in a statement. “The Israeli side could not fail to recognise this danger, but took the step of killing Lebanese citizens, which would almost inevitably provoke a new outburst of violence. Thus, it bears full responsibility for the subsequent escalation.” The ministry called on Israel to immediately stop hostilities in Lebanon.

Meanwhile, Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo joins live for the latest updates.
