The head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State, Pope Francis, has knocked military attacks on some countries across the world.

The Pope, who failed to mention names and spoke in general terms, appears to have faulted Israel’s attacks in Gaza and Lebanon, respectively.

According to him, “the defence must always be proportionate to the attack.”

He also described many attacks as “immoral” and disproportionate, saying military domination has gone beyond the war.

Francis made this known while speaking with the press en route home from Belgium.

He said: “When there is something disproportionate, there is a dominating tendency that goes beyond morality.

“A country that does these things – and I’m talking about any country – in a superlative way, these are immoral actions.”

He said that even if war itself is immoral, there are rules that “indicate some morality.”

“But when you don’t do this … you see the bad blood of these things,” he said.

This comes after the killing of Hassan Nasrallah, leader of a Lebanese Shia Islamist political party, Hezbollah.

The Israeli military, on Saturday, claimed it killed Hezbollah’s leader in an air attack on Lebanon’s capital, Beirut.

The death of Nasrallah has sent shockwaves throughout Lebanon and the Middle East, where he has been a dominant political and military figure for more than three decades.

However, U.S. President Joe Biden said the Israeli strike was a “measure of justice” for victims of Hezbollah’s “reign of terror.”
