Lebanon files UN complaint over more than 2,000 Israeli violations

Lebanon’s foreign ministry, through its permanent mission to the United Nations in New York, submitted a formal complaint to the U.N. Security Council and Secretary-General over ongoing Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty in recent months.

The ministry requested that the complaint be issued as an official U.N. document and distributed to all member states.

The complaint includes three detailed tables documenting daily Israeli breaches of Lebanese sovereignty in October, November, and December 2025, totaling 542, 691, and 803 violations, respectively, for a cumulative total of 2,036 incidents.

The ministry reiterated that these violations constitute a clear breach of Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as a violation of Israel’s obligations under U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement.

Lebanon urged the Security Council to require Israel to fully implement Resolution 1701, adhere to the ceasefire, withdraw its forces from the five remaining positions it occupies in Lebanon, respect internationally recognized borders, end repeated violations of Lebanese sovereignty, release Lebanese detainees, and halt threats to Lebanon’s territorial integrity and political independence.
