Israeli strikes on civilians violate international law and Lebanese sovereignty: Analysis
Israeli air force continues its attacks in Lebanon.
Among the areas hit was the Ein el-Hilweh camp near the southern city of Sidon.
At least three people were killed.
It’s the largest and most densely populated Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon.
Israel’s decision to begin a ground operation in southern Lebanon has been described as the UN Secretary-General’s worst nightmare.
Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo has the latest from the United Nations, in New York.
Paul Morcos is a Professor of International Law at Strasbourg University, and President of JUSTICA legal Foundation.
He emphasized that Israeli strikes on civilians in Lebanon breach international law, violating the Geneva Conventions. He highlighted that these attacks fail to distinguish between military targets and civilians, and that forced evacuations and the use of US weapons raise further legal concerns.
