Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday accused Western powers of backing what he said were Israeli plans to attack Lebanon and "spread war" throughout the region.

"Israel is now setting its sights on Lebanon and we see that Western powers behind the scenes are patting Israel on the back and even supporting them," he told lawmakers from his ruling AKP party.

A spokesperson for the United Nations peacekeeping force deployed in south Lebanon along the border with Israel said three of their contractors were wounded when gunfire hit their vehicle.

“Fortunately, there were no serious injuries,” deputy spokesperson for UNIFIL Kandice Ardiel said Tuesday.

Israeli artillery shelled Wednesday Kfarshouba and Wadi Hamoul in south Lebanon, while warplanes struck Aita al-Shaab, al-Khiam and al-Dhayra.

Israeli warplanes also struck Shebaa overnight.

Canada has urged its citizens in Lebanon to leave "while they can," warning of the risk of escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah in the region.

Foreign Minister Melanie Joly in a statement Tuesday called for Canadians to depart while commercial flights remain in operation.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has cautioned that "miscalculation" could trigger all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, urging the need for "extreme restraint" as tensions soar.

Israel and Hezbollah, a Hamas ally, have traded near-daily cross-border fire since the Palestinian militant group's October 7 attack on Israel sparked war in the Gaza Strip.

The United States is pressing Israel to avoid a major war against Lebanon's Hezbollah, with top American officials urging a diplomatic solution in order to prevent another Middle East crisis.

Israeli forces and Iran-backed Hezbollah are exchanging fire on a near-daily basis, and the Israeli army said last week that plans for an offensive in Lebanon were "approved and validated."

Hezbollah launched Tuesday an array of suicide drones at an Israeli military base in Nahal Gershom in response to Monday’s strikes in the Bekaa.

The group later targeted the Berkat Risha and the Bayyad Blida posts in northern Israel.

A senior Israeli official on Tuesday said Israel and the United States will devote an unspecified number of weeks to trying to reach a new arrangement with Hezbollah before resorting to other means to bring calm to the Israel-Lebanon border.

Israel's low-level conflict with the Lebanese group has escalated in recent weeks, raising fears of an all-out war.

U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein is supposed to return to Beiut and Tel Aviv to prepare for arrangements aimed at restoring calm on the Lebanese-Israeli border, ahead of an expected Israeli declaration of the end of military operations in Gaza, a media report said.

“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will declare victory over the Hamas Movement, and the Americans want this step to be the beginning of a long-term truce in Gaza that would include an exchange of prisoners and a sustainable ceasefire,” ad-Diyar newspaper quoted sources as saying.

Parliament Speaker and head of Hezbollah-allied Amal movement Nabih Berri is worried about a war conflagration, he told Russian state-controlled international news television RT.

"This month is crucial, we are in a sensitive and delicate stage," Berri told RT in an interview Monday, adding that the situation is "unsettling."
