UN Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix concluded a three-day visit to Lebanon, stressing that Security Council Resolution 1701 remains essential for stability.

In meetings with senior officials, including Speaker Nabih Berri, Prime Minister Najib Mikati, Lebanese army commander General Joseph Aoun, and others, he urged Lebanon and "Israel" to fully meet their obligations under the resolution.

Lacroix visited UNIFIL bases and met with its personnel, including those injured in recent Israeli attacks, and thanked the 50 troop-contributing countries supporting the mission. 

"Peacekeepers from almost 50 troop-contributing countries continue to do their utmost to implement their mandated tasks, in very difficult and challenging conditions," Lacroix stated, adding that "by doing this, they are helping to create and hold the space for a political and diplomatic solution to emerge. We are extremely grateful to them for their dedication and commitment."

He reiterated the UN’s call for a "cessation of hostilities," supporting diplomatic efforts for a resolution and full implementation of 1701.

With impunity, IOF pursue aggression on South, Bekaa, Beirut's suburb

All these talks come amid "Israel's" impunity as it conducts relentless, indiscriminate strikes across Lebanon.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Lebanon’s Bekaa region reported, on Thursday afternoon, that the death toll from an Israeli airstrike north of Baalbek has risen to 8, with 14 others wounded. Additionally, the Israeli occupation also struck the al-Sharawneh neighborhood, north of Baalbek.

In turn, Lebanon’s Public Health Emergency Operations Center confirmed that an Israeli airstrike on the al-Shaab neighborhood in Baalbek killed eight people, including five women, and injured 27 others, noting that the search and rescue teams also retrieved remains found on-site that are still pending identification.
