Beirut, June 14 (Petra) – The Lebanese government submitted two
letters to the UN Security Council and the UN Secretary-General
concerning Israeli use of prohibited chemical substance in southern
Lebanon and the targeting of a Lebanese Army vehicle.

In a statement issued Sunday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairts and
Emigrants said it filed an official complaint on June 10, 2026, based
on a report by the National Council for Scientific Research regarding
the Israeli army’s spraying of glyphosate over several villages along
Lebanon’s southern border on February 1, 2026.

The Ministry stated that the Chemical Weapons Convention prohibits
the use of herbicides as a method of warfare and called for urgent
international action to halt what it described as ongoing Israeli
violations.

The statement added that a second letter was sent on June 11, 2026,
addressing continued Israeli attacks on Lebanon, particularly the
strike on a Lebanese Army vehicle on the Kfar Tebnit-Khardali road on
June 6.

According to the Ministry, the attack killed three military
personnel, including a brigadier general, a captain and a soldier,
while they were carrying out their duties in southern Lebanon.

The Ministry called on the United Nations to condemn the attack and
take immediate measures to end repeated violations and ensure
compliance with the UN Charter and relevant international
resolutions, nameley UN Security Council Resolution 1701.

Separately, three people were killed and 15 others injured in an
Israeli airstrike targeting the Ghobeiri area in Beirut’s southern
suburbs on Sunday afternoon.
