UNIFIL confirms existence of tunnel from Lebanon into Israeli territory
UNIFIL confirms the existence of a tunnel penetrating Israeli territory from southern Lebanon.
Earlier today, Israel led a UNIFIL delegation to the site of a tunnel dug into Israel, south of the village of Metulla.
“Based on the site inspection, UNIFIL can confirm the existence of a tunnel at the location,” the peacekeeping force says in a statement.
“Accordingly, UNIFIL is now engaged with the parties to pursue urgent follow-up action. It is very important to determine the full picture of this serious occurrence,” UNIFIL says.
The UN peacekeeping force says it will speak with Lebanese officials about the matter.
