UN Security Council to discuss Hezbollah tunnels on Wednesday
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN Security Council will convene tomorrow to discuss Israeli accusations against the Hezbollah terror group over attack tunnels discovered by the IDF on the Israel-Lebanon border, Israel’s UN missions says in a statement.
The discussion, requested by Israel and the United States, will begin at 10 a.m. local time (5 p.m. Israel time).
Israel has so far uncovered four passages crossing into Israel from Lebanon, and the UNIFIL peacekeeper force has confirmed their existence and acknowledged they violate UN resolution 1701 adopted at the end of the 2006 Second Lebanon War.
“It is time for the Security Council to employ all its means against the terror infrastructure of Hezbollah, which is continuing to strengthen under the Lebanese government,” Israel’s UN envoy Danny Danon says in a statement.
