a route is home to roughly about 700000 people. now this attack is not the 1st one of its kind in the same area in the same neighborhood. on july 30th watch soccer has the list. number 2, was it assassinated in a similar error strike, but this time, this error strikes has targeted according to security sources telling i was a 0, a high level meeting of a large number of hezbollah officials that were a, that was taking place. now, what we have seen since we arrived here, 1st of all, the 1st thing you notice in this area is the heavy fence and smell of smoke that is filling the air. and the areas are cordoned off our check points that we have to go through to get to this area that you see behind me is where the attack happened. and we still not allowed any closer rescue operations continue. since we've been here, at least one body was recovered. that's the purse it was so live as far as you understand it. now as the liberties red cross, liberties, power, medics, the liberties are re,

along with other officials, are working through what is left of the scene of this attack. but certainly this is a, an incident that has shaken again this area in favor. okay. don't say we're gonna have to leave it the because as promise, we're going to go live now to the united nations security council. they've cooled, an emergency may need to have assembled to discuss the situation in lebanon, and the escalating tensions i believe we can hear from a resume. decala is the, the 60 general for political and peace building a fast. let's have a listen to what she has to say. 100000 people have been displaced from southern lebanon. at least 60000 have been displaced from northern israel. the exchanges of fire have caused numerous casualties, including among civilians and significant damage to homes, civilian infrastructure,

and agriculture land on both sides of the blue line. the risk of further expansion of the cycle of violence is extremely serious and poses a grave threat to the stability 11 on israel and the whole region. mister president, on the afternoon of 17 september many communication devices or pagers, primarily used by members of his fellow exploded simultaneously across loveland. on similar explosions were also reported in syria. the following day, the 2nd wave, the explosions, smaller in scale, but more leaf phone was reported throughout the same areas 11 on this time. the devices involved for to a handheld radios, reportedly used by his bowling devices exploded in homes, cars, supermarkets, and streets lebanon's, ministry of public health,

stated that 37 people were killed, including 2 children in more than 3400 people were injured and the successive explosions, medical professionals and hospitals, a working around the clock to help the wounded, lebanese society, old and young, had been in profound shock in panic. the lebanese government has strongly denounced the attacks which it attributed to israel. caretaker prime minister mccarthy said my quote, it represented a serious violation of lebanese sovereignty and the crime and quote, any speech on 19 september as well as secretary general, how so on this roller 7 response to the attacks that it is real exceeded all limits laws and red lights and he bowed, and i quote, to exact the heavy price and the fear of punishment and quote,

he reiterated that the $11.00 on front would only stop once the aggression on garza ended send a letter to the president of the security council in 18 september the islamic republic of you run, blamed israel for the explosions, noting that it's in bassett or to lebanon, was among those when did the wrong stated that it, and i quote, again, reserves, it's right under international law to take acquired measures deemed necessary to respond to such a heinous crime and violation and quote, to date the government of israel has made no official comment on these developments . mister president, since the explosions on 17 and 18 september exchanges a fire across the blue line have continued showing warring signs, escalation exchanges include some of the heaviest phone garden in a southern lebanon since 8 october 20. 23 is rarely aircraft. have conducted

a high number of air strikes in overflights, including breaking the sound barrier over b route on several occasions. in addition, we are receiving additional reports of other and is rarely or striking the southern suburbs of b root hours ago, which israel said targeted in killed a number of senior is bellow leaders. the lebanese health ministry said at least 12 people were killed in over 60, injured in the strike. meanwhile, heavy barrages of rocket drone artillery and the anti take this little fire from living on have killed 2 idea of soldiers and wounded 10 is release unit fil is monitoring the situation closely of 16 september israel's minister of defense. you all go on suggested that the center of gravity was moving north,

including the transfer of military forces. speaking of the onset of a, quote, new phase of war and quote, he suggest the only way left to ensure the return of israel's northern communities to their homes was through military action. reports from his early media indicates that israel defense forces, 90 eighths division was transferred from gaza to the northern command. adding 2 concerns about the risk of further escalation on the horizon. from lebanon, you and special coordinator, and the split guard has been in constant contact with all concerned actors, including caretaker prime minister, mccarty, foreign minister, and the super heavy speaker of parliament. and i'd be very and their offices and other authorities in her meetings. she's continued to push for a diplomatic solution and warrant against further escalation. she continues to underscore the military advances would not restore stability or enable display

civilians on both sides of the blue line to return home safely. she will travel to israel early next week for consultations with relevant counterparts. mister president, in the current fragile regional context, the devastating war and gaza continues nearly a year after the roof, the atrocities committed by how mos on 7 october is really military operations, including bombardment from the air and land. an armed exchanges with some us and other militants continue across the strip. the number of fatalities tragically keeps increasing. more than 41000 palestinians have been killed. according to the gods, a ministry of health, many of them children. at the same time, the indiscriminate launching of rockets by homos and other on groups towards

population centers in israel also continues. i once again echo the words of the secretary general. we need an immediate cease fire. the immediate and unconditional release of all remaining hostages, and a massive scale up a few monitoring aid to 1000 of the risk just to security and stability, not only in lebanon, but also in the region, could not be clear or graver. the secretary general has already expressed his deep alarm over these events. i echo his sentiments and strongly urge all actors to exercise maximum restraint to avert any further escalation. they must abide by their obligations under international law concerning the protection of civilians. i also strongly urge member states with influence over the parties to leverage it. now, as we approach

a full year of near daily exchanges of fire across the blue line and bloodshed in gaza to many lives have been lost. too many people have been displaced, and too many livelihoods have been destroyed. but if things continue as they are, we were seeing a conflagration that the dwarf, even the devastation and sufferings witnessed so far. so it's not too late to avoid such folly. there's still room for diplomacy, which must be used without delay. the secretary general continues to urgently call on the parties to re commit to the full implementation of security council resolution 17 o one and immediately returned to us the session of hostilities. thank you mister president. i think mister carla, for her briefing, i now give the floor to mr. whittaker to it. thank you, mr. president. excellence is i'm it pulled by the bread and the

impact of the a tax on $17.18, september 11 on on civilians for the explosion of pages 2 way radios and other electronic devices have reportedly killed at least 37 people, including 2 children and inject more than 3400 people in lebanon alone, leaving many with permanent disability and health care facilities struggling to cope with the magnitude of the impact on people. these are, tex, represent a new development and welfare. but communication tools become weapons seem attain yesterday. exploding across marketplace is on street corners ending homes as daily life unfolds. i'm sorry, it is that reported they dismantled unexploded devices in universities, banks and hospitals. this has unleashed wide spread fear panic and

hara among people in lebanon. already suffering in an increasingly volatile situation since october 2023 and crumbling under a severe and long standing economic crisis. these cannot feed the new normal. mr. president. war has rules for each and every party to this and any other conflict. a pause that is violence against other human beings can only be used when necessary to achieve a valid military objective. in doing so, the fundamental distinction between civilian and military targets must be front and center. all feasible precautions must be taken to spare civilians. the text must remain proportional to the why the damage they inflict. persons not exercising and continues compet function in a non group can only be targeted when taking

a direct part in the facility. at their core, these rules have the paramount aim of effectively protecting civilians. international human rights law exists to protect the equality and dignity of every human being even in time. so for law exists to defend values. central to our society is and to out see montane is targeting of thousands of individuals, whether civilians or members of troops without knowledge as to who was in possession of the target, the devices, their location, and their surroundings at the time of the attack violates international and rights role and as applicable, international humanitarian law. it is difficult to conceive how, in these circumstances, such a tax could possibly conform with the key principles of distinction,

proportionality, and precautions in a tech, on the international monetary angle. if the attacker is unable to assess the compliance of the a tech with binding rules of international note to play the likely impact on civilians, then the tech should not be carried out of international men to turn law prohibits the use of booby trapped devices in the form of the parent, the homeless, portable objects, which are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material. it is, it will crime to commit to violence. intended to spread tara among civilians. i called again for an independent tara and transparent investigation into the circumstances of these explosions. those who ordered and carried out these the text must be held to account. let me be clear. this method of wolf may be new and unfamiliar,

but internationally mended 10 and human rights slow apply regardless and must be upheld. these are tech so could emits to still it is between these right. and he's paula. which seems so a to but last year have cost civilian casualties on both sides. according to the lebanese ministry of health. c go said were released in august over 500 people have been killed over 2400 injured. and according to iowa, and over 110000 displaced 11 up the government of these ro reported 48 people killed in his row. and over 63 people displaced in the context of interest in hospitality is the last 24 hours have seen into intensified across the board of military action 11 and is right. this tragic situation cannot be seen in isolation . it is bound up with the war and gaza, the spiraling violence in the west bank,

including east jerusalem. and these roads continued occupation of palestinian territory. the heights increased a further atrocity crimes remains as repeatedly stated, the humanitarian situation. for 2200000 palestinians in gaza is catastrophic. or over 1200 people were killed on 7 october and he's right in gaza over 100 hostages . i still have, i have most of the palestinian. i'm groups over 40200 palestinians. mostly women and children has been killed as a result of the intensive use really offensive. and over 95500 injured in gaza. according to the cause, administer of health, i'm outraged by this inconceivable towards a few men suffering for the un and they committed to and respond this ongoing has still it is excess constrains a tax on stuff and facilities and damaged infrastructures along with the

deteriorating security situation. including looting and frequent ease ready to issue the recreation orders. a key factors, obstructing the delivery of sufficient live saving 8th across the guy district. ending the war in gaza and diverting a full blown regional conflict is an absolute and add some priority. i call for an immediate cease fire and will continue to many tear and excess to be insured throughout the strip. i urge the immediate and unconditional release of old hostages housing casa, the arbitrary detention by its right of thousands of palestinians most and the why . the situation of legalities across the occupied for the scene and territory, deriving from israel as policies and practices, so clearly sped out. any international court of justice. it's an advisory opinion, inter lie must be comprehensive to be addressed. a mr. president, this respect to international is a matter of international peace and security. the court obligation of this council

with implications beyond these countries and this reach beyond, beyond these countries and this region, states have constructed international mon rights into any town, no, precisely. for moments like these, when life dignity and all very humanity are addressed. as such, states must not, cannot accept plate and disregard for international including finding decisions of the security council and orders of the international court of justice. they must not, cannot allow the hollowing out of international and its protective core, neither in this nor in any other situation around the world. whole states, particularly those with the influence, must do everything they can to insure for respect to international trust over 10 days ago. in my address to the human rights constant geneva, i urged the rejection of a new normal, of endless,

vicious military escalation and increasingly alarming technologically advanced methods of warfare. the warnings from multiple actors against an all out war in the region has been clear and consistent. it would benefit no one. continuing on this pass of inflamed war rhetoric on all sides and reckless military escalation only leads to further devastation. i urge israel and his blood to seize facilities immediately. the spectre of these regions passed the on ending cycles of conflict to human rights, grievances and causes of which has been ignored and trampled on its portable and on the present. the complexity of this move moment and the stake. so people everywhere demand much more from the international community to achieve and enduring peace is

crisis requires political cottage and leadership. thank you. i think mr. to for his briefing. i know give the floor to those council members who wish to make statements. i give the floor to the present the default associated with the president. right. and communities become new and set up for this briefing. and i cannot judge from the welcome the presence of his action. really. he's excellent. so you need to set up the level. have you among us in this to meet meeting mike on 3. how's cold for this person meeting in light of the modeling,

just correlation in live on. on september 17 and 18. nice project events of what he's of been dozens of best and calls and hope and jude. he's following the remote donation of small communication devices across the country. the perpetrator, he's well known, we strongly condemn these is are these attack search ok. sims, present the blot them violation of the buttons. solvent so close. do you in charge of the motion in lieu of how does lucian

170127. 40 mine. how's your yes funds in for, for these audio. we live on on during this difficult times and we extend our deepest condolences to the government and to that he's young people will flip on government. really bunny's authorities for the music suited and the responsible handling of this grave crisis preventing further de escalation this the president, this arts, whole fucking issue. a moment to me cards. the deliberate and discriminate nature of these is why you slice of holes

that are among civilians. so we've been sleeping, prenatal it is being brought to get this done. just president turns to william the devices into bumps today, funding the safety of or and posing a senior. so give me from 3 this president open. a dungeon is on the books. what will happen if this, if such, i'm familiar tactics called could it be created by territories to groups while the emotional community goals for these escalation,

these i the tools that are using toward more expanding possibilities from the blue line and to the buyer. we buy these 3030 these are really or free shows how openly for them to launch large scale was in live on this outbox where followed by statements or fission statement, causing the so called positive results. it's like against the bailout this morning. and the proof studies that i really occupying for he's not, he is not at all and put a subject piece. so the reason i really all combine good,

40 two's through the seek piece read the neighbors. are they turn really committed to implementing is lucian. $2755.00 they are usually committed to a cease fire. and gaza is the president the city, the security council bens, the solem responsibility, to uphold the principle in charge and in the you want to talk to the security council must enforce its resolution resolution $170.00. 1 must be fully implemented without bias. and the is really ok, biased good actions must cease and it must read through

from ok by 3 by these territories only by pending the patient of the 3 closed paved ways for lasting peace and stability in that age. i think i think the representative of the shade for the statement i give the floor to that representative of switzerland. that same is, you know, cause it all and said you don't like the new. okay. if you're just joining us, we're just watching live now in the united nations security council. emergency meeting need is have assembled the to discuss the escalates intentions between israel and has part of the meeting was cold by algeria a little earlier this week. off to that incident in 11 on where the page at bloss took place, we would just hearing that from a amar benjamin,

the algerian and basta to the u. n. we also had earlier from mr. volk, attacks united nations high commission of human rights. he made the point that it was difficult to conceive how those attacks on his bullet could consume with key principles of distinction and proportionality on the international humanitarian. let's discuss this a little further with kristen salumi. she's at the united nations in new york. you uh, there are lot more speakers to come in the coming hours, but let's just talk in a little more detail about why this meeting was cold by the united nations security council and in and how is your assess the mood, the as you mentioned, it was called by algeria in response to the targeting of communication devices across lab and on, on the 17th and 18th of september. but when it comes to the mood at the united

nations, i mean, to say that there is growing concerned about regional escalation. it would be the
