UN Rights Chief Decries 'Horrific' Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Following Recent Ceasefire

The United Nations human rights chief has condemned Israel's military actions in Lebanon, labeling them as "horrific" given their timing shortly after a ceasefire agreement.

Volker Turk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, expressed grave concern over the escalation, noting that such operations undermine fragile peace efforts and exacerbate humanitarian suffering in the region.
