Lebanon submitted a new complaint against Israel on Monday to the UN Security Council regarding the effects of the Israeli aggression and its repercussions on the educational sector in Lebanon.

In the complaint, Lebanon provided data and figures on the number of displaced students and teachers in the public and private education sectors and in various stages and categories of education, and the number of schools, universities and educational buildings that have been taken out of their primary service and turned into shelters for displaced people in various Lebanese regions.

In its complaint, Lebanon urged Security Council member states to intervene urgently and effectively to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression on its territory, which has deprived nearly 1.4 million students of their basic right to education.

Lebanon also appealed to the international community to take immediate action to ensure the cessation of the aggression and protect the right to education as an essential pillar for building a stable
and secure future for the country, and as a means of promoting a culture of development and peace.

On the other hand, two martyrs have fallen Monday evening in an Israeli airstrike on the southern Lebanese town of Qanaret.

A Lebanese security source told Petra’s correspondent in Beirut: The city of Khiyam, the town of Kafr Kila and the Khiyam plain are under Israeli artillery shelling in conjunction with a combing operation with heavy machine guns.
