The attack, which allegedly featured six missiles fired by Israeli jets, was described by the Lebanese government as “the most dangerous phase” of Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon and its sovereignty.
The complaint, which was obtained by NBC News, also criticized Israel for repeatedly using Lebanese airspace to launch raids on Iranian-backed militias and weaponry in Syria.
