UNIFIL chief says has 'no evidence' of Hezbollah rebuilding in south Lebanon

Commander of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon Diodato Abagnara has said that UNIFIL has no evidence that Hezbollah is rebuilding its military capabilities south of the Litani.

In an interview with Israel's Channel 12, Abagnara said that the presence of Israeli troops along the Blue Line constitutes "a flagrant" violation of U.N. resolution 1701.

He warned that the slightest mistake could lead to a major escalation, describing the security situation as "really fragile."
