UN: Israel's Lebanon Violations Could Qualify as International Crimes

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, emphasized that the Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon have caused widespread suffering among civilians, with violations potentially reaching the level of international crimes. Türk stated during a press conference that airstrikes, persistent shelling, and the use of explosive weapons in populated areas have resulted in the deaths of more than 4,300 people and injuries to over 12,200 since the outbreak of the conflict in March, accompanied by mass displacement and extensive destruction. He also pointed out that the continued Israeli occupation of parts of southern Lebanon increases the risk of such actions being classified as international crimes, especially as displacement persists and return to affected areas remains prohibited. Additionally, Israel is employing unconventional military tactics, such as dropping explosive cylinders from drones, a development that has not been seen since the beginning of the clashes.
