The United Nations has called for an independent and transparent investigation into recent attacks in Lebanon that targeted thousands of people using pagers, two-way radios, and electronic equipment. The attacks resulted in the deaths of 37 individuals and left over 3,400 others injured. The UN human rights chief emphasized that those responsible for these attacks must be held accountable.

Lebanon has accused Israel of carrying out the attacks, which were believed to target Hezbollah militants but also caused civilian casualties, including children. Israel, however, has not confirmed its involvement but stated its commitment to targeting terrorists while minimizing civilian casualties.
