Lebanon Civilians: Over 100 Dead After Israeli Attacks Despite Ceasefire

Sure! Here’s the translation to American English:

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has reported that, since the declaration of the ceasefire, at least 103 civilians have lost their lives in Israeli attacks in Lebanon. This tragic count occurs in a context where no Israeli deaths have been recorded from projectiles launched from Lebanon during the same period.

Volker Türk, the High Commissioner, emphasized that more than 80,000 people remain displaced in Lebanon due to the prolonged violence. Since the ceasefire declared on November 27, 2024, the Lebanese Armed Forces have reported multiple violations of the agreement by Israel, mentioning attacks targeting civilians and the destruction of homes. For its part, the Israeli military has confirmed it has carried out hundreds of airstrikes, arguing that these were aimed at Hezbollah targets.

Türk highlighted that the effects of the air and drone strikes have been devastating, hitting both residential areas and zones near UN peacekeepers in the southern part of the country. One of the most heartbreaking incidents occurred on September 21, when an Israeli drone killed five people, including three children, in Bint Jbeil. In light of this situation, the High Commissioner has called for an independent investigation.

Living conditions for many families have become unsustainable, as they face the inability to rebuild their homes and return to their routines due to the constant risk of new attacks. The situation is even more critical for migrants and refugees who were already living in precarious conditions, and it is estimated that around 30,000 people from northern Israel are also displaced.

The High Commissioner emphasized the need to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, highlighting the importance of respecting international humanitarian law. In his statement, he asserted that “the good faith implementation of the ceasefire is the only path to lasting peace” and called on all parties to redouble their efforts to achieve a permanent cessation of hostilities.
