GENEVA, Switzerland — The United Nations human rights office is concerned about the protection of civilians in Lebanon as civilians have continued to be killed in Israeli military operations since the ceasefire.
“Israeli military operations in Lebanon continue to kill and injure civilians, and destroy civilian infrastructure, raising concerns regarding the protection of civilians,” the spokesperson for the United Nations Office for the High Commissioner of Human Rights, Thameen Al-Kheetan, tells reporters in Geneva on Tuesday.
Israel says strikes in Lebanon since the November ceasefire target Hezbollah and other terror operatives violating the agreement, and aim to prevent the terror group from rebuilding its infrastructure in the country.
