The United Nations condemned the widespread destruction of civilian targets as a result of Israeli airstrikes that targeted various areas in Lebanon on Sunday. In a statement on Monday, the UN Human Rights Regional Office for the Middle East and North Africa (ROMENA) said: "We condemn the heavy Israeli bombardment of various urban and residential areas in the southern Beirut suburbs, south Lebanon, and Bekaa in the past 24 hours." "These attacks caused extensive destruction to residential properties, civilian infrastructure, and business premises, in addition to indescribable panic and another wave of displacement among residents of those areas," the ROMENA added in its statement. Since October 2023, Lebanon has been subjected to Israeli aggression, but in the last month, the Israeli entity has increased the pace of aerial and artillery bombardment in an unprecedented manner and expanded the scope of its targeting to extend to the capital, Beirut, which led to the killing and wounding of thousands of Leban ese, in addition to forcing more than a million people to flee their homes.
