Israel files complaint with UN against Lebanon, Syria

Israel has filed complaints with the UN Security Council against Syria and Lebanon, for the violence perpetrated by the two nations' citizens near Israel's borders during Sunday's "Nakba Day" events.

The Foreign Ministry has instructed the Israeli mission in New York to submit the two complaints to the UN secretary-general and to the president of the Security Council. The ministry stated in the complaints that the responsibility for the citizens' deaths lies with the governments that are in charge of preventing riots. (Ronen Medzini)
