Lebanon's Permanent Mission to the United Nations filed a complaint before the UN Security Council, regarding the Israeli warplanes breaking the sound barrier over Lebanese territories, including the capital, Beirut. In a statement on Monday, Lebanons Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the complaint was lodged based on the instructions of Caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdallah Bou Habib. In the submitted complaint, Lebanon condemned these violations, which constitute a flagrant violation of Lebanons sovereignty and airspace, and of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 (issued in 2006). The complaint also indicated that these breaches violate a number of provisions of international humanitarian law, which prohibits all methods of collective punishment and psychological intimidation practiced by Israel through terrorizing all civilians and spreading panic, particularly among the most vulnerable segments of society, such as children.
