Tel Aviv Calls UNSC to Act against Hizbullah: 50000 Missiles to Hit "Israel"
Local Editor
"Israel's" envoy to the UN, Ron Prosor, called Thursday the Security Council to condemn what he described as significant rearming by Hizbullah.
In reflection of "Israel's" concern of Hizbullah's weapons, Prosor claimed that the Lebanese resistance "now possessed an arsenal of tens of thousands of missiles capable of hitting "Israel"."
He further claimed that "the buildup was in clear violation of a UN arms embargo."
"In flagrant breach of Security Council resolution 1701, Hizbullah has built its arsenal to unprecedented levels, amassing 50,000 deadly missiles in Lebanon - more missiles than many NATO members have in their possession," he said, and warned that "these missiles can reach all of "Israel" and well beyond."
Meanwhile, Prosor called on the Security Council and all responsible members of the international community to "send a clear signal that Hizbullah's rapid rearmament will not be tolerated - backed by concrete steps on the ground."
"A logical first step is to ensure that Hizbullah is placed on relevant terrorism watch lists in all corners of the globe, including in the European Union," he said.
In his letter, the "Israeli" envoy claimed said an explosion in the southern town of Tairharfa on Monday was at a Hizbullah weapons depot.
"This explosion offers yet another reminder to the world about the grave danger before our eyes in Lebanon," he wrote.
