The United Nations has urged for an investigation into an Israeli strike on the village of Aitou in northern Lebanon, which resulted in the deaths of at least 21 people. The strike, which occurred on Monday, targeted an entire building where individuals who had fled the bombardment in southern Lebanon were seeking refuge, as reported by the Lebanese Red Cross.
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) revealed that among the casualties were 12 women and two children. OHCHR spokesperson Jeremy Laurence expressed concerns regarding the adherence to International Humanitarian Law, emphasizing the importance of upholding the laws of war and principles of distinction, proportionality, and proportion.
