JAKARTA - Any possibility of Israeli attacks on Lebanon will have serious consequences for Israel, Iranian President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian said by phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Israeli authorities blamed the Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah group for a rocket attack that hit a football field in Israel's occupied Golan Heights on Saturday, July 27.

Israel has promised to avenge attacks that killed 12 children and adolescents. Meanwhile, Hezbollah denied responsibility for the attack.

"Any possibility of Israeli attacks on Lebanon will have serious consequences for Israel," Pezeshkian was quoted as saying by Iranian state media as saying by Reuters on Monday, July 29.

"We are willing to improve our relationship with France on the basis of mutual trust," continued Pezeshkian in his conversation with Macron.

Macron spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, the French Presidential Palace said, as Paris seeks to prevent a broader escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.

The palace said Macron had reminded Netanyahu that France is fully committed to carrying out all efforts to avoid a new escalation in the region by conveying a message to all parties involved in the conflict.
