The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) announced that it will discuss the cross border tunnels dug by Hezbollah into Israel and violations of UN Security Council resolution 1701 during an upcoming meeting. The meeting, whose date was not disclosed, will include the peacekeeping forces and Lebanese and Israeli officials. It will be held at UNIFIL’s base in Naqoura in southern Lebanon. UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti said that the situation in the South was calm and that members of the force were working on the ground with the Lebanese armed forces to ensure security along the Lebanese-Israeli border. UNIFIL commander Major General Stefano Del Col was in contact with all concerned sides to “avert any misunderstanding”, he added. On Friday, the peacekeeping force said it was continuing its investigations into the Hezbollah tunnels. Together with the Lebanese army, it surveyed the premises of an old concrete factory in the southern part of Kfar Kila, after UNIFIL had observed liquefied cement flowing out from the building within this facility, it said in a statement. “The liquid overflowing on the Lebanese side had been injected by the Israeli army through a shaft drilled on their end of a tunnel that UNIFIL had previously independently confirmed to be crossing the Blue Line in the same general area. “Based on this observation, UNIFIL can confirm that the old concrete factory in Kfar Kila has an opening to the tunnel, which is crossing the Blue Line. “UNIFIL is working in close coordination with the Lebanese army in efforts to enable appropriate steps to address the violation of resolution 1701,” it concluded. UNIFIL remains engaged with the parties to ensure that all activities in sensitive areas are duly coordinated, the Blue Line is fully respected by both sides, and to help the parties uphold their respective obligations towards the cessation of hostilities under resolution 1701, it said. Israel had in December announced that it was working on exposing and destroying tunnels dug by Hezbollah from Lebanon into its territories. It has so far announced the discovery of five tunnels.
