The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has raised concerns about possible war crimes in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran-aligned groups Hamas and Hezbollah. The UN political affairs chief warned the Security Council about the potential for an even larger conflict if violence escalates. Israel recently carried out air raids in Lebanon targeting Hezbollah commanders, resulting in casualties. The UN has called for an investigation into the attacks on Hezbollah’s communication devices, stating that they violated international law. The US urged all parties to adhere to international humanitarian law and avoid actions that could lead to further escalation. The conflict in Gaza and Lebanon has led to tens of thousands of evacuations and casualties, with fears of a devastating war looming. The UN emphasized the need for diplomacy to prevent further violence and suffering in the region.
