In Photos: "Israeli" Military Crowds Face Lebanon, Golan
Local Editor
The Zionist enemy continues to violate the Lebanese sovereignty.
In this context, al-Ahed news reported that a crowd of more than eighty "Israeli" military vehicles, including forty Merkava tank and thirty personnel carrier of the type M 113 and nine bulldozers were transferred over the past 24 hours to an area east "Misgav Am" settlement.
As the "Israeli" army didn't disclose the purpose of these reinforcements, security sources talked about Tel Aviv's intention to conduct huge military drills in the Galilee region, particularly from the border areas of the Wazzani passing by the Abbassiya and down to Shebaa Farms and the occupied Golan.
"These unannounced drills are to be conducted after ten days," the sources mentioned.
In response, the Lebanese army is taking precaution measures as the enemy continued its construction of the military road near the Wazzani river.
A senior UN diplomat warned that "there is a risk that the UN mission in Golan will all leave. And if they all leave then the mission is in definite crisis," said one senior UN diplomat. "They are no longer doing patrols. They have closed down some of the observation posts."
Another senior Security Council diplomat warned: "There is a real danger of the total unraveling of the force."
Without giving details on UNDOF's activities, UN peacekeeping spokesman Kieran Dwyer acknowledged the growing concerns and said changes to the force were started several months ago.
"The mission is having to assess the way it works so that the troops are safe and the most critical roles are carried out," Dwyer said.
