UN says Israeli demolitions in Lebanon 'deeply concerning'
The UN said the blasts have damaged civilian infrastructure and cultural heritage as diplomatic channels remain open.
The United Nations expressed deep concern over Israel's demolitions in southern Lebanon, highlighting severe damage to civilian infrastructure and cultural heritage.
Israel conducted large detonations near the UNESCO-listed Beaufort Castle, using about 700 tons of explosives to destroy tunnels and killing several Hezbollah fighters.
The detonations wounded two people in one strike according to reports.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the demolitions as dangerous escalations undermining peace efforts, and the Lebanese Army rejected Israeli occupation of Lebanese territory.
