The Supreme Islamic Shiite Council has filed a legal complaint against unidentified individuals responsible for launching rockets from southern Lebanon toward Israel, as well as those accused of spreading Israeli military propaganda and fueling sectarian tensions.
Filed on Wednesday through the council’s attorney, Dr. Hassan Fadlallah, the complaint was submitted to Lebanon’s Public Prosecutor’s Office, calling for a thorough investigation and prosecution of those behind the attacks.
The council stated that the attack was designed to provoke an escalation and further destabilize Lebanon.
Beyond the military confrontation, the complaint also addressed public reactions on social media, where some Lebanese expressed support for Israel’s warning and subsequent airstrikes. The council condemned such reactions as incitement to hatred and sectarian violence, warning that they pose a direct threat to national unity and internal stability.
Moreover, the council asserted that these actions not only endanger civil peace but also embolden Israel’s military operations against Lebanon.
Calling for swift action, the council urged Lebanese security agencies to identify those behind the rocket attacks, as well as individuals promoting Israeli aggression.
Finally, the statement stressed that failing to address both the military and media dimensions of the incident could exacerbate tensions and further divide the Lebanese population.
The legal move comes in response to an incident on March 27, 2025, when unidentified individuals fired rockets toward Israel, violating UN Resolution 1701 and prompting retaliatory Israeli strikes against Beirut’s southern suburbs.
