The United Nations said on Wednesday it had verified the deaths of 103 civilians in Lebanon since the November 2024 ceasefire with “Israel,” calling for renewed efforts to end the suffering and secure a durable truce.

The UN Human Rights Office stressed that more than 10 months after the agreement, violence and strikes continue to endanger civilians across southern Lebanon.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said in a statement that jet and drone strikes have continued to hit residential areas, as well as sites near UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon.

“Families are simply unable to make a start on rebuilding their homes and their lives, and instead are faced by the real and present danger of more strikes,” Turk said.

The UN noted that hundreds of schools, health facilities, and places of worship remain damaged or unusable, further compounding the humanitarian crisis.

The Human Rights Office confirmed that until the end of September, 103 civilians had been killed in Lebanon since the ceasefire. No civilian deaths have been reported from fire originating in Lebanon toward “Israel” during this period.

The office cited a September 21 attack in Bint Jbeil, where an Israeli drone strike killed five people, including three children. Turk called for an independent and impartial investigation into that incident and others raising serious concerns about violations of international humanitarian law.

On Wednesday, Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported another Israeli strike on the south, killing one person and wounding five others.

Civilians displaced as Lebanon ceasefire remains fragile

The UN highlighted that more than 80,000 people remain displaced in Lebanon due to ongoing violence, while an estimated 30,000 people in northern “Israel” also remain displaced.

“At all times during the conduct of hostilities, civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected and international humanitarian law fully respected, irrespective of claims of breaches of a ceasefire,” Turk said.

He added that “good faith implementation of the ceasefire is the only path towards a durable peace, and its terms need to be respected.”

"Israel" continues to target villages in South Lebanon, the Beqaa valley, Hermel, and Baalbek, breaking the ceasefire demands and encroaching on Lebanon's sovereignty.

Even with the Lebanese Army, which was supposed to take over the South's security as part of the ceasefire demands, can't fully deploy due to "Israel's," per a UN report.
