Lebanon complains to UN Security Council over continuous Israeli breaches

BEIRUT, Dec. 24 (YPA) – The Lebanese Foreign Ministry has filed an urgent complaint with the UN Security Council, denouncing what it described as “repeated and flagrant Israeli violations” of the ceasefire in southern Lebanon.

The Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates announced, in a statement on Tuesday, that its complaint to the UN Security Council included a strong protest against the repeated violations committed by the Israeli occupation forces of the ceasefire declaration and commitments related to enhanced security arrangements under the Council Resolution 1701.

According to the ministry, those violations, which include 816 ground and air attacks between November 27, 2023, and December 22, 2023, have resulted in significant losses of life and property.

The Lebanese ministry asserted that these Israeli violations undermine regional stability and pose a direct threat to the work of the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

In its complaint, Lebanon called on the Security Council, especially the countries sponsoring these arrangements, to take a firm and clear position regarding the violations of the Israeli occupation.
