Complaint from Lebanon to the UN Security Council Regarding the "Sound Barrier"

The Lebanese Mission in New York submitted a complaint to the UN Security Council today, Monday, regarding the violation of the sound barrier by Israeli warplanes over Lebanese territories, including the capital Beirut. Lebanon condemned these violations in the complaint, which it described as a "flagrant violation of Lebanon's sovereignty and airspace, as well as Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006), in addition to breaching several provisions of international humanitarian law, which prohibits all forms of collective punishment and psychological intimidation that Israel exercises by terrorizing all civilians and instilling panic among them, particularly affecting the most vulnerable segments of society such as children."
