Suleiman Tasks Bassil to Gather Information on Israeli Strike to File Complaint at Security Council
President Michel Suleiman has ordered that the necessary measures be taken in order to file a complaint to the United Nations Security Council over Israel's strike against a Hizbullah position on Monday.
He tasked Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil to gather all available information on the strike ahead of filing the complaint.
The assault is a violation of Security Council resolution 1701, remarked Suleiman.
He had held talks on the issue with army chief of staff Walid Salman.
Hizbullah had confirmed on Wednesday the Israeli strike, saying that it targeted a party position near the Jinta region in the Bekaa near the Lebanese-Syrian border.
It vowed that it will “choose the appropriate time and place” in order to retaliate to the attack.
No one was killed or injured in the incident, it added in its statement.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that Israel was doing all that was "necessary" to ensure its security.
"We will not say what we're doing or what we're not doing" to maintain Israel's security, he added.
