Berri calls for urgent UN Security Council session after al-Tiri airstrike

Speaker Nabih Berri on Wednesday called for seeking an urgent U.N. Security Council session over Israel’s attacks in Lebanon.

Commenting on the airstrike that targeted the southern town of al-Tiri earlier in the day and wounded a number of school and university students, Berri decried that Israel considers itself above accountability, lamenting that Lebanon is being condemned and criticized despite “its commitment to Resolution 1701 and the November 2024 cessation of hostilities agreement.”

“Lebanon should continue filing complaints to the Security Council and today is it is demanded to call for an urgent U.N. Security Council session to consolidate the Lebanese right and condemn the Israeli violations represented both in the targeting of civilians and the annexation of territory,” the Speaker added.
