The Directorate of Intelligence in the Lebanese Army arranged for a meeting in Tibbnine town, against the background of the incident that took place last week in Khirbet Silim town in southern Lebanon, where units from the UNIFIL forces attempted to raid a citizen's home within the town which was met by a large protest by the local people.

The meeting was attended by representatives from the municipalities, as well as village leaders in the region, UNIFIL Forces Commander Claudio Graziano at the head of a UNIFIL delegation and MPs Hassan Fadlallah and Ali Bazzi-representatives of Hizbullah and Amal movement.

The MPs indicated the discussion was frank and transparent during which Graziano heard from the people clear protests and complaints, they also gave him questions stressing the need to give them answers to. They also stressed the need to go back to the rules of engagement and to work according to the operative part of resolution 1701.

MP Fadlallah stressed that authority in south Lebanon is for the Lebanese army and the Lebanese government, but the role of the UNIFIL is of assisting the army.

After the meeting, which lasted one hour and half hours in the headquarters of Tibbnine's municipality, everyone headed to the town of Khirbet Silim, to complete the meetings, to clarify matters, to return to the previous order in the relationship between the UNIFIL and the local community.
