UN to investigate Lebanon war violations

The United Nations Human Rights Council>>>, led by chief Volker Türk>>>, will deploy a team of investigators to Lebanon>>> next week. This mission aims to assess potential violations of international law by all parties involved in the ongoing war in Lebanon>>>. The conflict began on March 2 when the Tehran-backed Hezbollah>>> militia fired rockets at Israel>>> in solidarity with Iran>>>, which was under US-Israeli attack. This prompted a major Israeli air and ground campaign in Lebanon>>>. Despite a ceasefire declared by the United States>>> on April 16, fighting has continued, with Lebanon>>> reporting nearly 3,500 Israeli strikes since then. The conflict has resulted in over 3,600 deaths, more than one million displaced Lebanese, and a rapidly eroding food security situation, with 1.24 million people expected to face crisis levels of food insecurity until August. A recent strike also hit the city of Lebanon — Sidon>>>.
