Israeli occupation forces are constructing two concrete barriers inside Lebanese territory, Nov. 19, 2025 (<em>AP</em>)
</li></div></ul>
<p>Lebanon has formally filed a complaint with the UN Security Council, accusing <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/lebanon-has-every-right-to-counter-israeli-aggression--resis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Israel" of carrying out a \u201cnew and grave\u201d breach</a>
of its sovereignty by constructing two concrete walls inside Lebanese
territory. The move follows instructions from the Lebanese government
and was submitted through Lebanon\u2019s Permanent Mission to the United
Nations in New York.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Lebanon calls for immediate UN action to halt violations</h2>
<p>Beirut urged the Security Council and the UN Secretariat to act
swiftly to stop "Israel\u2019s" 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.</p>
<p>The government also pressed the UN to prevent "Israel" from imposing
any so-called \u201cbuffer zones\u201d inside Lebanese territory and to uphold the
rights of forcibly displaced Lebanese civilians to return to their
border villages.</p>
<p>The Lebanese government reiterated that it <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/berri-denies-any-direct-warning-to-lebanon-amid-israeli-thre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remains prepared to enter negotiations</a>
aimed at ending the occupation and halting ongoing violations. It also
reaffirmed its commitment to implementing Resolution 1701 in full.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<h2>One year on, 'Israel's' flagrant truce violations in Lebanon ongoing</h2>
<p><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/one-year-on---israel-s--flagrant-truce-violations-in-lebanon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">One year into the ceasefire</a> agreement,<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/egypt-urges-halt-to-israeli-violations--reaffirms-support-fo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli violations continue across Lebanon</a>,
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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Since the earliest days of the ceasefire,<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/irgc--hezbollah--aor-hold-right-to-avenge-martyr-al-tabataba" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli forces have carried out airstrikes</a><span> </span>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.</p>
<p>The attacks expanded to include Beirut\u2019s 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)<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/resistance-is-only-option-amid-aggression--hezbollah-politbu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">came under Israeli fire</a>,
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.</p>
<h2>More than 330 people killed over the past year</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>In the same context, UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Morris Tidball-Binz,<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-airstrike-hits-residential-building-in-beirut-southe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously stressed that "Israel\u2019s"</a><span> </span>repeated
attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Lebanon amount to
\u201cwar crimes\u201d and constitute \u201ca grave violation of the UN Charter,
Security Council Resolution 1701, and Lebanese sovereignty.\u201d</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>7,500 Israeli airspace violations</h2>
<p>The ceasefire agreement explicitly<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/ohchr---israel-s--strikes-on-lebanon-violate-ceasefire--risk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">required \u201cIsrael\u201d to refrain from targeting</a><span> </span>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>UNIFIL declared that as of November 20, its forces recorded<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/lebanon-to-file-unsc-complaint-over-israeli-wall-breaching-b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than 7,500 air violations</a><span> </span>and nearly 2,500 land breaches by "Israel" north of the "blue line" since the ceasefire agreement. </p></div></div></div>
