UN official says tunnels a ‘serious violation’ of key resolution

Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, says the tunnels extending into northern Israel represent a “serious violation” of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Second Lebanon War.

Lacroix says both sides have been warned against escalating the situation. He also commends the Israeli army for its conduct.
