UNIFIL says Blida raid a blatant violation of 1701, Lebanon's sovereignty
UNIFIL has expressed "deep concerns" at an Israeli armed incursion that killed a municipal worker in the southern border town of Blida early on Thursday.
"Such Israeli action north of the Blue Line represents a blatant violation of the Security Council Resolution 1701 and Lebanon’s sovereignty," it said in a statement.
"UNIFIL reiterates its call to all parties to fully commit to the cessation of hostilities and notes that the extension of state authority through its institutions is at the very core of Resolution 1701," it added.
The U.N. force also said that it remains in communication with the Lebanese Army regarding the incident.
