Lebanon files new complaint to the UN Security Council over ceasefire violations

Beirut says Israeli strikes have continued despite the truce and are obstructing deployment in the south.

Lebanon has filed a new complaint with the UN Security Council accusing Israel of repeated ceasefire violations, according to the evidence packet for this event.

The supplied source says the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants submitted the complaint through Lebanon’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York. It says the filing responded to what Beirut described as repeated Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that took effect on November 27.

The packet gives the Lebanese government’s account of the scale of the violations: it says Israel carried out more than 816 land and air attacks between November 27 and December 22. Those strikes were described as hitting border villages, booby-trapping homes, destroying residential neighborhoods and blocking roads.

Lebanon said those actions complicated its efforts to implement UN Resolution 1701 and hindered the Lebanese army’s deployment in the south. The ministry also said the violations represented a serious threat to regional security and stability, and urged the Security Council to take a firm position and compel Israel to respect its obligations.

The source also says Lebanon called for stronger support for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon and the Lebanese army so they could help protect sovereignty and restore stability. That request shows Beirut is trying to frame the issue not only as a bilateral dispute with Israel, but as a wider test of the international framework meant to keep the south calm.

The packet notes that the ceasefire stopped direct confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah but that both sides have since accused each other of violations. It also says the Israeli army has continued to carry out strikes in Lebanon, though at reduced intensity, and that some of those attacks caused casualties in the south and east.

The report remains narrow because only one source was supplied. It does not provide Israel’s formal reply or independent verification of every incident in the Lebanese tally. But it does establish that Lebanon is again pushing the issue to the Security Council and is arguing that the ceasefire is being undermined by continuing cross-border attacks.

The broader implication is that even after a truce is declared, the political fight over compliance can continue in parallel with military activity. In this case, Beirut is seeking to put pressure on the UN system to respond before the agreement deteriorates further.
