Lebanon to submit urgent complaint against Israel to UN Security Council

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati has said his government will submit an urgent complaint against Israel to the UN Security Council in response to “Tel Aviv’s targeting of civilians and children” in southern Lebanon.

“The Israeli enemy’s targeting of civilians in its aggression against Lebanon, and the martyrdom of four people, including three children, in the south tonight, and the wounding of others by drone fire, is a heinous crime,” Mikati’s office said in a statement, Anadolu Agency reports.

“This crime is a new stain on the global conscience that condones what the Israeli occupation is doing in southern Lebanon and Gaza,” he said, affirming “this heinous crime will not go unnoticed, and will be followed up by the government, through international communications, and an urgent complaint against the Israeli enemy will be submitted to the Security Council.”
