Beirut: Acting on instructions from the Lebanese government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs-through Lebanon’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York-submitted a complaint to the U.N. Security Council in response to what it described as a new and serious Israeli violation of Lebanese sovereignty. The violation consists of Israel building two T-shaped concrete separation walls in the southwest and southeast of Yaroun, inside internationally recognized Lebanese borders.
According to National news agency – Lebanon, the construction of these two walls-which UNIFIL has documented-results in the seizure of additional Lebanese land and constitutes a breach of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006) and the 2024 declaration of cessation of hostilities. Lebanon called on the Security Council and the U.N. Secretariat to take immediate action to deter Israel from violating Lebanese sovereignty, compel it to remove the two walls, and ensure its immediate withdrawal south of the Blue Line.
