The Lebanese foreign ministry submitted on Monday a complaint to the UN Security Council over the “dangerous Israeli violations that are threatening the stability of the region.”
The violations are a “blatant violation of Security Council resolution 1701” said Lebanon’s permanent ambassador to the UN Amal Mudallali.
In addition caretaker foreign minister Jebran Bassil instructed the Lebanese consulate in Montreal to file a complaint to the International Civil Aviation Organization over Israel’s practices that are threat to civil aviation.
Such violations could have led to a major human catastrophe said the complaint.
The complaints were made after Israel last week used Lebanese airspace to launch strikes against positions near the Syrian capital Damascus.
Lebanon’s transport minister Youssef Fenianos already affirmed that recent Israeli airstrikes launched towards southern Damascus threatened the safety of civilian airliners that were flying over Lebanese airspace at the time of the attack.
Lebanon’s foreign ministry said it was exerting all possible efforts to deter Israel from committing such flagrant violations.
