In January 2026, Lebanon filed a complaint with the United Nations Security Council regarding repeated Israeli violations of the November 2024 ceasefire agreement. The Lebanese government documented 2,036 Israeli breaches of its sovereignty between October and December 2025. The complaint calls on the Security Council to compel Israel to withdraw fully behind internationally recognized borders, end its violations, and release Lebanese prisoners. Lebanon asserts that these violations are in direct contravention of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah. The complaint was filed after a wave of Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon. Israel continues to occupy points within Lebanese territory and obstructs the reconstruction of border villages.
