Lebanon Files Complaint against Israel for Shelling the South
Lebanon’s Foreign Ministry filed on Monday a complaint with the United Nations against Israel for shelling southern Lebanon in November.
The ministry accused Israel of violating Lebanon’s sovereignty and U.N. Security Council resolution 1701.
Last week, Israel shelled southern Lebanon after a rocket attack from Rmaish on the western Galilee region.
The Lebanese mission to the U.N. complained that the Israeli violations threaten the international peace and security.
That incident came almost a year after Lebanese and Israeli troops traded fire along the same border, killing two Lebanese soldiers and a journalist along with a senior Israeli officer.
