   Israeli occupation forces are constructing two concrete barriers inside
   Lebanese territory, Nov. 19, 2025 (*AP*)

Lebanon has formally filed a complaint with the UN Security Council,
accusing "Israel" of carrying out a “new and grave” breach
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/lebanon-has-every-right-to-counter-israeli-aggression--resis>
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
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/berri-denies-any-direct-warning-to-lebanon-amid-israeli-thre>
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
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/one-year-on---israel-s--flagrant-truce-violations-in-lebanon>
agreement, Israeli violations continue across Lebanon
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/egypt-urges-halt-to-israeli-violations--reaffirms-support-fo>,
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
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/irgc--hezbollah--aor-hold-right-to-avenge-martyr-al-tabataba>
 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
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/resistance-is-only-option-amid-aggression--hezbollah-politbu>,
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"
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-airstrike-hits-residential-building-in-beirut-southe>
 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
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/ohchr---israel-s--strikes-on-lebanon-violate-ceasefire--risk>
 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
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/lebanon-to-file-unsc-complaint-over-israeli-wall-breaching-b>
 and nearly 2,500 land breaches by "Israel" north of the "blue line" since
the ceasefire agreement.
