UNIFIL: Israel’s Assault on Blida Violates Resolution 1701 and Lebanon’s Sovereignty
The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) condemned the Israeli attack north of the Blue Line in Blida, calling it a clear breach of Security Council Resolution 1701 and Lebanese sovereignty, according to the English section of webangah News Agency.
UNIFIL refrained from taking any action against Israeli soldiers during the assault on Blida but expressed deep concern over this armed aggression. The force urged all parties to respect international law and UN resolutions.
