The Lebanese Foreign Ministry has filed a formal complaint with the UN Security Council, demanding immediate measures to force Israel to cease its strikes on Lebanese territory.
"The UN Security Council must compel Israel to halt hostilities that constitute an assault on Lebanese sovereignty," the ministry stated in a post on X. "We call on the international community to ensure the withdrawal of Israeli troops from five specific points they continue to occupy in the south of the country."
The appeal follows a wave of Israeli airstrikes on January 25, during which the Air Force carried out at least 20 strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon, leaving two dead and six wounded. Despite the escalation, the Lebanese diplomatic department expressed a readiness to negotiate with Israel "to end the occupation and the attacks."
Central to Lebanon's position is a commitment to a government plan aimed at "establishing state control over all weaponry in the country." The document outlines a strategic phased rollout for the national military.
"The Lebanese army is currently deployed south of the Litani River," the text noted. "In the second phase, the disarmament process will extend to the territory between the Litani and Awali rivers, followed by the outskirts of Beirut, the Beqaa Valley, and all remaining regions."
