Lebanon crisis: UN human rights office calls for probe into Israeli strike

With no let-up to the ongoing Israel-Lebanon conflict, the UN human rights office on Tuesday called for an independent probe into an Israeli airstrike that hit an apartment block in northern Lebanon a day earlier that left a reported 22 dead.

"What we're hearing is that amongst the 22 people who were killed were 12 women and two children," said Jeremy Laurence, spokesperson for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
