Lebanon says not seeking war with Israel, deploying forces near tunnel sites
Lebanon’s ambassador to the United Nations says Beirut does not seek war with Israel and maintains the Lebanese army is heavily deployed at the sites of the tunnels.
Lebanon has said “loudly and clearly and on the highest level that it is not interested in another conflict,” says Amal Mudallali.
“The Lebanese army is deployed heavily [at the tunnel sites]… to make sure that [UN resolution] 1701 is abided by strictly.”
She also condemns alleged Israeli violations of the Lebanese border, pointing “to Israeli responsibility to instigating conflict.”
“The Lebanese state did not commit any violations, while the violations on the Israeli side were committed by the state,” she says.
