In Photos: UNIFIL Breaches 1701
After "Israel", the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon breached the UN Security Council resolution 1701.
During its construction of a six- meter high separation wall along the borders with Lebanon, "Israel" committed a violation of the Lebanese sovereignty.
The Lebanese Army has been closely monitoring the situation with several senior army officers present near the construction area and the LA referred the "Israeli" breach to Tuesday's tripartite meeting to be held in the Southern Naqoura point.
The commander of UNIFIL Gen. Paulo Sierra inspected the area of violation i.e. the separation wall of the Motleh "Israeli" settlement after crossing the Naqoura point.
Three Zionist officers were present in the scene.
Suddenly, the UNIFIL Spanish commander Calderon overcame the barbed wire along the separation wall and crossed illegally into Occupied Palestine to meet Gen. Paolo Sierra.
The move that resembles a clear violation to all the agreements concluded between UNIFIL and the Lebanese army did not initiate any reaction from Sierra.
It is worth mentioning that the agreements between Lebanon and UNIFIL, in accordance with UN Resolution 1701, states that "communications or transit to Occupied Palestine are prevented except through the Naqoura crossing."
The LA's soldiers and officers deployed in the region, near the Fatima Gate, protested to the UNIFIL, demanding the withdrawal of the Spanish officer-Calderon- away from the region.
The LA's request was implemented after Calderon returned to the Lebanese land in the same way. He was immediately withdrawn to the headquarters of the Spanish contingent. A meeting was also held in Marjayoun barracks between the UNIFIL and the LA.
Hours later, the Lebanese army soldiers detected a Ghanaian UNIFIL officer chatting with an "Israeli" officer near the barbed wire. The LA filed another complaint on this breach.
Meanwhile, the "Israeli" works on the wall continues in the northern area while it was stopped on the side of al-Adaysee town because of the Lebanese reservation.
