Lebanon's Hezbollah movement on Friday expressed its support for Palestinians in responding to the deadly Israeli airstrikes against the Gaza Strip earlier in the day.
"Hezbollah supports all the steps taken by the leadership of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) to respond to the Israeli aggression and its continuing crimes," the Lebanese Shiite political party said in a statement.
The airstrikes "will only increase Palestinians' determination to continue their path until victory and liberation are achieved," added Hezbollah movement.
Israel attacked the besieged Gaza Strip with warplanes on Friday, killing at least ten people, including a senior commander of the Islamic Jihad resistance movement and a young girl.
Taysir Al-Jabari, a commander of the Al-Quds Brigades, the military arm of the Islamic Jihad, died in an air raid on an apartment in the Palestine Tower in the centre of Gaza City.
The health ministry in Gaza said at least 55 people were also wounded, and being treated at hospitals as a result of the Israeli raids.
