AhlulBayt News Agency: Lebanon says it has lodged a complaint with the UN Security Council, demanding the condemnation of Israel’s ongoing aggression against the Arab country and urging the international community to hold the occupying regime accountable for its crimes.
Lebanese Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday that the complaint calls for condemning the Israeli invasion of its territories and the violation of the country’s sovereignty, as well as the widespread and continuous attacks on the security and safety of its people.
The complaint also calls for obligating Israel to implement Resolution 1701 to halt its hostilities immediately and withdraw Israeli troops from Lebanese territory, the ministry added.
According to the statement, Lebanon further noted in the complaint that Israel has no respect for international law, adding that it has escaped accountability and questioning by the global community.
Meanwhile, Lebanon’s health ministry said an Israeli strike in the southern Lebanese port city of Sidon had killed two people and injured eleven others.
Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) also reported that three people have been killed in an Israeli air attack on the town of Zawtar Al-Sharqiya in Nabatieh.
Earlier in the day, NNA reported that Israeli warplanes had raided the town of Yahmar al-Shaqif, destroying two houses, while another house was damaged in an overnight attack on the village of Doueir.
Since late September, Israel has launched an intense air and ground offensive against Lebanon after nearly a year of cross-border exchanges with the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah over the war in Gaza.
As many as 2,483 Lebanese people have been killed and 11,628 others wounded as a result of the regime’s intensified attacks against the country.
Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations, targeting the occupied Palestinian territories.
