’Israel’s’ Border Spying in Breach of Resolution 1701: Lebanese Army

Local Editor

Lebanon’s army has urged the United Nations Interim Force [UNIFIL] in the country to censure "Israel’s" stationing of spying devices along the Lebanese border as a violation of UN Resolution 1701 on Friday.

During a meeting with Luciano Portolano, who heads the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon, Lebanese army official Mohammad Janbeh said "Israeli" spying devices installed along the Lebanese border breach Security Council Resolution 1701.

The "Israeli" regime has set up "telecommunications equipment" along the UN-designated Blue Line in an attempt to "eavesdrop on Lebanese communications," said the Lebanese military official.
Additionally, Janbeh also censured "Israel’s" frequent violations of Lebanon’s airspace and said the regime’s warplanes fly over the Lebanese territory for an average of 15 hours a day. Tel Aviv claims such flights serve surveillance purposes.

In May, Beirut lodged three complaints with the United Nations against "Israel" over its "blatant" violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and Resolution 1701.
In 2009, Lebanon filed a complaint with the United Nations, presenting over 7,000 documents pertaining to "Israeli" violations of the Lebanese territory.
