Lebanon has formally filed a complaint with the UN Security Council, accusing "Israel" of carrying out a “new and grave” breach of its sovereignty by constructing two concrete walls inside Lebanese territory. The move follows instructions from the Lebanese government and was submitted through Lebanon’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York.

According to the complaint, "Israel" has built two T-shaped concrete separation walls in the southwest and southeast of the village of Yaroun, beyond the Blue Line and within internationally recognized Lebanese borders. UNIFIL has confirmed and documented the construction, which Lebanon says effectively seizes additional Lebanese land.

Lebanon argues that the wall-building constitutes a direct violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006), which ended the 2006 war, as well as the 2024 declaration of cessation of hostilities. The complaint warns that these actions undermine the framework intended to stabilize the border area and prevent renewed conflict.

Lebanon calls for immediate UN action to halt violations

Beirut urged the Security Council and the UN Secretariat to act swiftly to stop "Israel’s" encroachment, compel it to dismantle the two structures, and ensure a full withdrawal to the south of the Blue Line from all areas it continues to occupy, including five border sites cited in the filing.

The government also pressed the UN to prevent "Israel" from imposing any so-called “buffer zones” inside Lebanese territory and to uphold the rights of forcibly displaced Lebanese civilians to return to their border villages.

The Lebanese government reiterated that it remains prepared to enter negotiations aimed at ending the occupation and halting ongoing violations. It also reaffirmed its commitment to implementing Resolution 1701 in full.

The filing also outlined steps taken by the Lebanese Armed Forces to advance the national plan to consolidate a state monopoly on arms and reinforce military deployment south of the Litani River. These efforts, the complaint said, are carried out in coordination with UNIFIL and through established mechanisms designed to maintain stability along the border. 

One year on, 'Israel's' flagrant truce violations in Lebanon ongoing

One year into the ceasefire agreement, Israeli violations continue across Lebanon, with breaches surpassing 10,000 and more than 330 people killed, while the occupying forces refuse to withdraw from the points they still occupy in South Lebanon, undermining an already fragile deal that the occupation violated in the first hour after it went into effect.

From day one, the terms of the agreement remained nothing more than ink on paper from the Israeli side, which failed to uphold any of its commitments and instead persisted in its attacks, eroding the very foundations of the truce.

Since the earliest days of the ceasefire, Israeli forces have carried out airstrikes and targeted assassinations in towns along the border and across southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa, also striking Palestinian refugee camps without any prior warning.

The attacks expanded to include Beirut’s Southern Suburb, where repeated strikes killed and injured several Lebanese civilians. Even the positions of the Lebanese army and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) came under Israeli fire, an unmistakable indication that violating the truce has become part of an ongoing military policy that reaches far beyond the south and into the heart of the country.

More than 330 people killed over the past year

According to the latest official figures released by the Lebanese Ministry of Health, Israeli attacks since November 27, 2024, the date the ceasefire went into effect, through November 25, 2025, have left more than 330 people dead and more than 900 wounded.

In the same context, UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Morris Tidball-Binz, previously stressed that "Israel’s" repeated attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Lebanon amount to “war crimes” and constitute “a grave violation of the UN Charter, Security Council Resolution 1701, and Lebanese sovereignty.”

The UN assessment once again highlights the widening gap between the international frameworks meant to regulate a cessation of hostilities and the on-ground reality marked by continued escalation from the Israeli side.

7,500 Israeli airspace violations

The ceasefire agreement explicitly required “Israel” to refrain from targeting Lebanese territory by land, sea, or air, in exchange for Hezbollah halting its operations, with both sides committing to Resolution 1701 and ensuring the protection of UNIFIL forces. The deal also granted the Lebanese army expanded authority to control weapons south of the Litani River and dismantle unauthorized military structures.

It included a plan to deploy 10,000 Lebanese soldiers in the south and for Israeli forces to withdraw beyond the Blue Line within 60 days. But once the agreement went into effect, the situation on the ground completely contradicted its spirit, as Israeli violations persisted and expanded in ways that undermined the foundations of the truce.

UNIFIL declared that as of November 20, its forces recorded more than 7,500 air violations and nearly 2,500 land breaches by "Israel" north of the "blue line" since the ceasefire agreement.
