The Arab League condemnation followed the Israeli military’s demolition of an entire neighbourhood in southern Lebanon, urging international action to uphold humanitarian law.
CAIRO: Nabil Fahmy, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, condemned the Israeli army’s demolition today of an entire neighborhood in the Bint Jbeil District in southern Lebanon.
In a statement distributed by the Arab League, Fahmy said that the policy of imposing collective punishment on civilians constitutes a blatant and unacceptable violation of international humanitarian law.
He called on the international community and the United Nations Security Council to fulfill their responsibilities and stand against this expansionist approach.
The demolition has drawn renewed attention to the security situation along the Lebanon-Israel border, where tensions have remained high in recent months. Humanitarian organisations have repeatedly warned that continued military operations risk worsening the situation for civilians and could lead to further displacement and damage to essential infrastructure.
