Lebanon filed a formal complaint to the United Nations Security Council on Friday following the alleged Israeli assassination of Hamas deputy chief outside of Gaza, Saleh al-Arouri, in the Beirut suburbs earlier this week.
The complaint, filed on Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib's instruction, charges that the alleged attack, the "most dangerous escalation since 2006...specifically targeted a densely populated residential zone, constituting a clear violation of Lebanon's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the safety of its civilian population and aviation."
