Lebanon has announced its intention to lodge a formal complaint with the United Nations Security Council, accusing Israel of constructing a concrete wall that encroaches on Lebanese territory. The Lebanese presidency revealed this decision on Saturday, following a report by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) that the wall crosses the UN-demarcated Blue Line, the de facto border between the two nations. According to UNIFIL, the structure, identified as a concrete T-wall, has rendered over 4,000 square meters of Lebanese land inaccessible to its citizens. The Israeli military, however, has denied the allegations, asserting that the wall does not cross the Blue Line. President Joseph Aoun has directed officials to submit the complaint alongside UN reports refuting Israel’s denial. UNIFIL’s investigations in October and November confirmed that sections of the wall near Yaroun violate Lebanon’s sovereignty. The force has urged the Israeli army to relocate the wall. This dispute arises amidst ongoing tensions following a November 2024 ceasefire intended to end hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. Israel maintains that the wall is part of a broader military strategy initiated in 2022, aimed at reinforcing its northern border. Despite the truce, Israel continues to conduct strikes in Lebanon, primarily targeting Hezbollah.
