The Lebanese government claims to have documented 2,036 Israeli violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty in the last three months of 2025.
Lebanon has filed a complaint with the United Nations over Israel’s repeated violations of the November 2024 ceasefire, calling on the Security Council to push Israel to put an end to his attacks and withdraw completely from the country.
Lebanon’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants said the complaint, sent Monday, emphasized that Israeli abuses constituted a “clear” violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006.

The ministry said it called on the 15-member body to compel Israel to “completely withdraw beyond internationally recognized borders”, end its repeated violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty and release the Lebanese prisoners it holds.
“The complaint included three tables detailing Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty on a daily basis during the months of October, November and December 2025. The number of these violations amounts to 542, 691 and 803 respectively, totaling 2,036 violations,” the text adds.
The complaint was filed a day after Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Lebanon, murder at least two people.
Despite the 2024 ceasefire, the Israeli army launches almost daily attacks in Lebanon, which have killed hundreds of people. In November last year, the UN estimated the number of civilians killed in Israeli attacks, at least 127.
Israel also continues to occupy five points of Lebanese territory by blocking the reconstruction of several border villages that it has razed, thus preventing tens of thousands of displaced people from returning home.
Meanwhile, Israel is estimated to hold more than a dozen Lebanese prisoners, including Hezbollah fighters and civilians who were taken to border villages in 2024. Israel has resisted calls to submit a list of Lebanese citizens it is holding, leaving the fate of many missing people in southern Lebanon in limbo.
Israeli forces also repeatedly opened fire on peacekeepers of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFILE) in southern Lebanon.
The Foreign Ministry in Beirut said Monday it “called for pressure on Israel to stop its attacks against UNIFIL, which continues to make the ultimate sacrifices to bring security and stability to the region.”
Lebanon has filed similar complaints with the UN in the past, but Israeli attacks have not relented.
On Monday, Israeli drones dropped two stun grenades on the southern village of Odaisseh, Lebanese media reported.
Israel had seriously Hezbollah weakened in all-out war in late 2024, killing most of the group’s military and political leaders. Israel’s campaign helped it establish a new balance of power and allowed it to launch regular attacks in Lebanon without response.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese government is pushing to disarm Hezbollah.
This month, Beirut said it had completed the withdrawal of the group’s weapons south of the Litani River, 28 kilometers from the Israeli border.
Despite this announcement, Israeli airstrikes continued south and north of the Litani.
Hezbollah has tacitly agreed to disarmament south of the Litani in accordance with UN Resolution 1701, but has warned that it will not completely abandon its weapons, arguing that they are necessary to end Israel’s expansionism.
The next phase of the Lebanese government’s plan to remove Hezbollah’s weapons will target the region approximately 40 km (25 miles) north of the Litani River to the Awali River.
