Lebanon has accused Israel of repeatedly violating its sovereignty and committing breaches of international law over the last six months.

Israeli military and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah have traded fire across Lebanon's southern border in parallel with the Israeli aggression on Gaza in the past months. Lebanon's caretaker cabinet voted on Friday to instruct the foreign affairs ministry to file a declaration with the ICC accepting the court's jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute crimes committed on Lebanese territory since October 7.

Neither Lebanon nor Israel are members of the ICC, which is based in The Hague. But filing a declaration to the court would grant it jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute relevant crimes in a particular period.
