Beirut, Dec 24: The Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants has filed a complaint through the country’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York with the UN Security Council (UNSC) in response to Israel’s repeated violations of its ceasefire agreement with Lebanon.The Lebanese ministry said on social media platform X that between November 27 and December 22, Israel launched over 816 land and air attacks against Lebanon, shelling border villages, booby-trapping homes, destroying residential neighborhoods, and blocking roads.Such violations complicate Lebanon’s efforts to implement the provisions of UN Resolution 1701, hinder the Lebanese army’s deployment in the south, and represent a serious threat to international efforts aimed at achieving regional security and stability, it said in the complaint, Xinhua news agency reported.Lebanon has continuously shown the utmost restraint and cooperation to avoid falling back into “the hell of war,” it said, urging the UN Security Council to take a firm and clear position towards Israel’s violations and work to oblige it to respect its obligations.It also called for strengthening support for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon and the Lebanese army to protect Lebanon’s sovereignty and help the country restore stability.
