Lebanon Files Complaint to UN over Israeli Violations

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry submitted on Monday a complaint to the United Nations over the “dangerous Israeli violations that are threatening the stability of the region.”

The violations are a “blatant violation of Security Council resolution 1701,” said Lebanon’s permanent ambassador to the UN Amal Mudallali.

In addition, caretaker Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil instructed the Lebanese consulate in Montreal to file a complaint to the International Civil Aviation Organization over Israel’s practices that are threat to civil aviation.

Such violations could have led to a major human catastrophe, said the complaint.

The complaints were made after Israel last week used Lebanese airspace to launch strikes against positions near the Syrian capital Damascus.

Reports said the strikes targeted Hezbollah leaders and a number of Iranian positions.

The Foreign Ministry said it was exerting all possible efforts to deter Israel from committing its flagrant violations.
