CAIRO (WAM)

Nabil Fahmy, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, condemned the Israeli army's demolition on Sunday of an entire neighbourhood in the Bint Jbeil District in southern Lebanon.

In a statement distributed by the Arab League, Fahmy said that the policy of imposing collective punishment on civilians constitutes a blatant and unacceptable violation of international humanitarian law.

He called on the international community and the United Nations Security Council to fulfill their responsibilities and stand against this expansionist approach.
