    The UN human rights office said that at least 127 civilians had been killed in Lebanon in strikes by the Israeli military since the ceasefire’s implementation.

    Following a series of Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, the UN and Lebanese Health Ministry on Tuesday reported casualty estimates for those wounded and killed in the country since the implementation of the ceasefire between Israel and the terror group nearly a year ago.

    The UN human rights office said that at least 127 civilians had been killed in Lebanon in strikes by the Israeli military since the ceasefire’s implementation, and called for an investigation into the matter and for the truce to be respected.

    “Almost a year since the ceasefire 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,” Thameen Al-Kheetan, spokesperson for the UN human rights office, said at a Geneva press briefing.

    He said the number included deaths the UN had verified using its own strict methodology, but that the actual level could be higher.

    The Israeli military said on Monday it had carried out airstrikes on several Hezbollah targets in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, killing five militants according to the Lebanese authorities.

    The sites were used by Hezbollah for training, to prepare attacks against Israeli soldiers and store weapons in violation of agreements between Israel and Lebanon, the Israeli military said.

    According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, the Israeli raids left at least five people dead and five others wounded, based on a preliminary toll.

    Lebanese security sources said all the casualties were members of Hezbollah.

    The Israeli army said it would continue to strike Hezbollah positions to prevent the group from re-establishing its military capabilities and to eliminate threats against Israel.

    The European Union has proscribed Hezbollah’s military wing as a terrorist organization but not the wider political group.
