UN official: Stop the “massacre” in the Middle East

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, expressed his concern about the Israeli attacks in Lebanon. According to Grandi, attacks on medical facilities and civilian infrastructure in Lebanon violate international humanitarian law. Bombing of homes and killing of civilians are also possible violations.

Grande called on all parties to the conflict and those with influence to end “the massacre that is taking place today in both Gaza and Lebanon.”

Iran temporarily closed its airspace

According to the Civil Aviation Authority, Iran briefly imposed a nationwide ban on flights in the country. According to the authorities, the flight ban was lifted in the evening.

Observers fear that the latest decision was taken due to an imminent Israeli counterattack.

Officially, “operational limitations” were cited as the reason. No further details were given.
