Iran Press/West Asia: On Monday, the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants 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 Nov. 27 and Dec. 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, the complaint said.
Lebanon has continuously shown the utmost restraint and cooperation to avoid falling back into "the hell of war," it said, urging the UNSC 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.
A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah went into effect on Nov. 27, putting an end to the confrontations that erupted on Oct. 8, 2023.
Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement has not remained silent in the face of incessant Israeli bombing and shelling campaign that has claimed 3, 500 civilian lives.
Over the past days and hours, this movement has been shelling the positions of the Israeli army by launching hundreds of rockets, while at the same time continuing to hunt down the soldiers and armored vehicles on the ground battle in southern Lebanon.
