Lebanon files UN complaint over Israeli bombardment
Following consultations with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib asked Lebanon’s permanent mission to the U.N. to file a complaint with the U.N. Security Council over the dawn Israeli bombardment of areas near the southern city of Tyre.
“The deliberate Israeli shelling and aggression at dawn today of areas in south Lebanon represent a flagrant violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and a blatant breach of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701,” the Foreign Ministry said.
The Israeli attack “threatens the stability that the Lebanese south was enjoying,” the Ministry added.
