United Nations experts have condemned Israel's recent bombing campaign in Lebanon, labeling it an "illegal aggression and indiscriminate bombing campaign," according to a statement from the United Nations Human Rights Council.
The strikes, reported as Israel's heaviest in Lebanon since a conflict with Hezbollah began last month, resulted in over 250 casualties on April 8.
Hezbollah had resumed rocket attacks on northern Israel after a temporary ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintains that Lebanon was not included in the ceasefire agreement.
