The U.N. human rights office said on Tuesday that at least 127 civilians had been killed in Lebanon by Israeli strikes since a cease-fire nearly a year ago, and called for an investigation and for the truce to be respected.
"Almost a year since the cease-fire between Lebanon and Israel was agreed, we continue to witness increasing attacks by the Israeli military, resulting in the killing of civilians and destruction of civilian objects in Lebanon, coupled with alarming threats of a wider, intensified offensive," said Thameen al-Kheetan, spokesperson for the U.N. human rights office, at a Geneva press briefing.
He said the number included deaths it had verified based on its own strict methodology, but that the reality could be higher.
