Lebanon files UN complaint against Israel's daily ceasefire violations

Lebanon submits formal UN complaint documenting 2,036 Israeli violations since late 2024, urging Security Council action to enforce borders and ceasefire.

"completely withdraw to beyond the internationally recognised borders - Lebanese Foreign Ministry"

Beirut, January 26

Lebanon has lodged a formal complaint with the United Nations Security Council accusing Israel of repeated breaches of the November 2024 ceasefire and violations of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, the Lebanese Foreign Ministry said in a statement, reported Al Jazeera.

The complaint, submitted on Monday (local time) through Lebanon's permanent mission to the UN in New York, documents what Beirut says were 2,036 Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty during October, November and December 2025, based on monthly tallies of 542, 691 and 803 incidents.

Beirut called on the Security Council to press Israel to "completely withdraw to beyond the internationally recognised borders", cease its attacks, and release Lebanese prisoners held by Israeli forces, as reported by Al Jazeera.

The filing came a day after a new round of Israeli air strikes across southern Lebanon, which killed at least two people, according to the ministry.

Despite the ceasefire deal that ended major hostilities in late 2024, the Lebanese government said the Israeli military has continued near-daily attacks that have killed hundreds of civilians since the truce took effect, Al Jazeera reported.

The complaint also noted that Israel still occupies five points inside Lebanese territory, hindering reconstruction and the return of displaced residents.

Beirut urged the council to demand an end to Israeli attacks on the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and to support the force's efforts "to bring security and stability to the region," Al Jazeera reported.

The Lebanese government has previously filed similar complaints, but officials say such diplomatic efforts have not halted the violations they allege.

As an Indian, I understand the pain of border tensions. The international community cannot be a silent spectator. Civilians are dying daily. Where is the accountability? The UNSC needs to enforce its own resolutions.

While the violations are serious, I hope Lebanon is also taking strong diplomatic steps internally. Just filing complaints that go unanswered isn't enough. They need to build a stronger coalition of support, perhaps with other nations facing similar issues.

The numbers are staggering – 803 incidents in just December? This isn't a "violation," it's a sustained campaign. My heart goes out to the displaced families. The occupation of Lebanese territory must end for any real peace.

The world's focus may be elsewhere, but this conflict is destabilizing the entire region. India has always stood for peaceful resolution of disputes. Hope our diplomats can play a constructive role behind the scenes. Jai Hind.

A respectful criticism: The article only quotes Al Jazeera and the Lebanese ministry. For balance, it should have included Israel's official response or perspective on these alleged violations. We need both sides to form an opinion.

This is a tragic cycle. Ceasefire, violations, complaints, more violence
