Human Rights Watch (HRW) has strongly condemned Israel’s threats against Iranian government officials in Lebanon, describing them as representing an “intent to commit war crimes.” The organization stated that under international law, individuals not directly involved in hostilities cannot be targeted. The Israeli military had earlier declared that it would not tolerate the presence of Iranian representatives in Lebanon and gave them 24 hours to leave the country.
In a social media post, HRW emphasized that the laws of war strictly prohibit attacks targeting civilians, including officials from other nations who are not directly participating in hostilities. The group added that if Israeli forces target Iranian officials who fail to leave Lebanon, such actions would be deeply concerning and amount to an admission of intent to commit war crimes.
The statement comes amid heightened regional tensions, with Israel, Iran, and Lebanon all referenced in recent reports of military threats and actions, according to Al Jazeera.
