UN Demands Impartial Probes Into Israeli Strikes in Lebanon

The UN says recent attacks in Lebanon may breach international humanitarian law.

Overview

  • The UN rights office called for prompt investigations into all incidents, including the strike on Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp.
  • UN-verified figures record more than 330 killed and 945 wounded since the November 2024 ceasefire period began, including at least 127 civilians.
  • The Ain al-Hilweh strike killed 13 people, 11 of them children, and the UN said all documented fatalities from that attack were civilians, as Israel asserted it targeted Hamas operatives.
  • More than 64,000 people remain internally displaced as damaged civilian infrastructure and ongoing insecurity hinder reconstruction and returns.
  • The UN cited restrictions near the Blue Line, noting Israeli wall construction that makes about 4,000 square meters of land inaccessible, and urged all parties to honor the ceasefire as Lebanon and Israel trade accusations.
