UNIFIL:
Zionist Regime’s Wall Construction on Lebanese Borders Violates UN Resolution
BEIRUT (Dispatches) – The spokesperson for the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) Andrea Tenenti said Saturday that the construction of a cement wall by Zionist troops along Lebanon’s border violates UN Resolution 1701, local media reported.
"The UNIFIL's role is to find a solution to these violations and to ensure stability in south Lebanon," Tenenti was quoted as saying by Elnashra, an online independent newspaper.
Tenenti said that the UNIFIL is cooperation with the Lebanese army to ensure proper implementation of resolution 1701 and the respect of the Blue Line.
"We are preparing regular reports on violations taking place from any party," he said.
The Higher Defense Council in Lebanon held Thursday a meeting vowing to submit a complaint to the Security Council with regard to the occupying regime’s violations of the Lebanese territory.
The meeting was held after the regime placed 25 cement blocks near the settlement of Miskaf Aam, opposite the southern Lebanese town of Adaisseh, with six blocks placed at disputed points.
Speaker Nabih Berri expressed his concern over the "dangerous” developments. "This is something that must be carefully monitored because it is very dangerous. There is something I know and it will be time to show it,” he told visitors at his Ain al-Tineh residence in the evening.
Berri said he would discuss the occupying regime’s actions with U.S. Undersecretary for Political Affairs David Hale, who is due to visit Lebanon next Monday.
In a statement, the Lebanese Army said the regime’s actions "threatened to resume hostilities,” and it stressed the need for a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Shebaa Farms, Kfar Shuba hills and the occupied part of Ghajar.
Back in December, Caretaker Lebanese Transportation Minister Youssef Fenianos announced that the country was set to lodge a complaint against the regime at the UN Security Council, after airstrikes launched by Israeli war planes targeting Syria threatened civilian airliners flying over the Lebanese airspace.
The minister said the aerial assaults had put at risk the lives of hundreds of civilians, who were on board passenger planes flying over Lebanon at the time of the attack.
