Summary

The U.N. peacekeeping mission in Lebanon described recent Israeli air strikes as violations of Security Council resolution 1701, and the U.N. spokesperson urged parties to adhere to their obligations to avoid reversing gains from the cessation of hostilities.

The U.N. spokesperson, Farhan, said the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL) described recent Israeli air strikes within UNIFIL’s area of operations as "clear violations of Security Council resolution 1701."

Farhan said the strikes occurred as Lebanese Armed Forces were undertaking operations to control unauthorized weapons and infrastructure in the South Litani area and noted that the cessation of hostilities between Israel and Lebanon was reached a year ago. He added: "We continue to urge the parties to adhere to their obligations under resolution 1701 to avoid putting the current hard‑won progress at risk."

The briefing did not announce U.N. punitive measures or new peacekeeping deployments; it reiterated calls for compliance with Security Council resolutions.
