Lebanon files new complaint to UN against Israel

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry has announced that its permanent mission to the UN had submitted a new complaint to the Security Council, after the Israeli entity targeted civilians in the south of the country.

The ministry added, in a statement Friday, that the complaint dealt with the Israeli entity targeting the car of a Lebanese citizen, which led to his death, in addition to the injury of three students who were on board a school bus that was damaged as a result of a raid while they were passing on the Shukin-Kfardjal road, southwest of the city of Nabatieh, south Lebanon.

The Israeli entity's deliberate bombing of a civilian car and a school bus carrying students heading to their school is considered a violation of international humanitarian law and a war crime, the ministry explained.

Lebanon called on the UN Security Council to force the Israeli entity to respect international humanitarian law and children's rights, and to avoid fighting among civilians.
