Lebanon has submitted a complaint to the UN Security Council following a series of Israeli attacks on civilian targets “considered the most violent and bloody since last October”, its foreign ministry said on X, Al Jazeera reports.

The attack on Wednesday in Nabatieh, in southern Lebanon, killed at least 10 civilians, including children, and three Hezbollah fighters, in the deadliest attack in more than four months of cross-border exchanges.

“Israel’s deliberate and direct bombing of civilians safe in their homes is a violation of international humanitarian law and a war crime,” Lebanon’s foreign ministry said.

“The Israeli bombardment is a violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and citizens and all United Nations resolutions,” the ministry added.
