Committee to focus on Israeli violations: Aoun

UNIFIL

 Israeli violations of the U.N. Security Council resolution that ended the 2006 War will soon be addressed again by the tripartite committee – consisting of representatives from the Lebanese Army, UNIFIL and the Israeli army – President Michel Aoun told UNIFIL Force Commander Maj. Gen. Michael Beary during a meeting Monday.

U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 stipulated the cessation of hostilities and full respect for the Blue Line – the border zone between Israel and Lebanon – among other things.

Lebanon has filed multiple complaints to the UNSC regarding Israel’s violations of the resolution, with the latest one submitted by Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil last month.
