US EditionLebanon to file complaint against Israel for wall inside its territory
Lebanon accuses Israel of violating sovereignty by building a concrete wall crossing the UN Blue Line, blocking over 4,000 square meters of Lebanese land, UNIFIL confirmed.
- On Nov 15, Lebanon said it will file a complaint to the United Nations Security Council over an Israeli concrete wall crossing the Blue Line, with President Joseph Aoun asking the foreign minister to include UNIFIL's findings.
- UN peacekeepers' geospatial surveys in October and November found sections of a concrete T-wall cross the Blue Line, and UNIFIL said construction breaches Resolution 1701 and Lebanon's sovereignty.
- UNIFIL found more than 4,000 square metres of Lebanese land inaccessible and identified concrete T-walls southwest and southeast of Yaroun, Nabatieh district crossing the Blue Line.
- UNIFIL has formally urged the Israeli army to move or remove the walls and will advise it on November survey results, while an Israeli military spokesperson denied the wall crosses the Blue Line.
- The dispute raises diplomatic stakes as Beirut urges Washington and the U.N. to press Israel to comply with the ceasefire, while Israeli forces occupy five points and recently increased presence to seven sites.
