Lebanon’s permanent mission to the United Nations will submit an “urgent complaint” regarding airstrikes conducted by Israel on Saturday in a southern economic zone, which caused civilian casualties and substantial property damage.
Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi instructed Lebanon’s UN mission in New York to forward the complaint to the UN Security Council and the secretary-general. The statement said the complaint details the bombing of several construction equipment yards along the Al-Msayleh–Zahrani road in the Sidon district, resulting in civilian injuries and extensive damage to commercial facilities.
Raggi also requested that the complaint be circulated as an official document to all Security Council member states.
Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that the strikes affected six heavy machinery yards, destroying more than 300 vehicles and causing additional material losses worth millions of dollars.
The incident comes after a year-long cycle of cross-border hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel, which began in October 2023 and concluded with a ceasefire in November 2024.
The complaint aims to formally register Lebanon’s concerns over the recent airstrikes while calling on international authorities to examine the impact on civilians and property.
