\n

\t<\/span>The Lebanese Government strongly condemns the repeated Israeli attacks that have brought death and injury to many and have caused enormous damage to property.  It further condemns in the strongest terms the arbitrary practices against civilians that have prevented them from cultivating their fields, pursuing their occupations and earning their livelihoods.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>Like previous attacks, this new series constitutes flagrant aggression against the sovereignty and independence of Lebanon and represents another flagrant violation of international law and basic human rights.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>The continued violence is ultimately due to Israel's maintenance of its occupation and its refusal to comply with Security Council resolution 425 (1978), which calls for Israel's withdrawal to the internationally recognized boundaries and for the Lebanese Government to be allowed to extend its authority over all its territory by means of its legally constituted forces.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>I should be grateful if you would have this letter circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under item 44 of the provisional agenda, and of the Security Council.<\/p><\/div>\n
