UNIFIL Slams Israeli Blames, Affirms Strategic Partnership with Lebanese Army
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti slammed Israeli media reports accusing the peacekeeping forces of failing to carry out their duties, saying the reports are “inaccurate,” the National News Agency reported on Friday.
“UNIFIL is aware of these media reports which contains clear inaccuracies. UNIFIL is working around the clock and carrying out some 450 operational activities each day. We have close coordination with the Lebanese Armed Forces, almost 40% of our activities are carried out at night,” said Tenenti.
He stressed saying “the UNIFIL highly values its strategic partnership with the Lebanese army mainly in the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. The Lebanese army is an integral part in preserving the calm and stability in the UNIFIL area of operations.”
Israeli media have accused the peacekeeping forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) of becoming an “excuse for Hizbullah and the Lebanese government to violate UN resolution 1701.”
Israel fought a month-long war against Hizbullah in 2006, killing more than 1,200 Lebanese, mostly civilians, and more than 160 Israelis, mostly soldiers.
Resolution 1701 was adopted to end the war, calling for full respect of the Blue Line.

and they are spot on!
Is UNIFIL preventing Hezbollah from being south of the Litani?
Is UNIFIL not seeing Hezbollah conducting pre-jihad tours of the border for shia Iraqi and shia Iranian militia heads?
It is not uncommon for the UNIFIL soldiers to be found hanging out at Bars in Beirut and Achrafieh chasing women.
To them the assignment to UNIFIL is a vacation filled with frills and privileges.

Refute Israeli claims, why should I?
You are the enemy of Lebanon after all, and that is final.

The same so called facts you present, are the same as the Israeli enemies.
Which makes you an Israeli, or even worse, a traitor.

What a joke!!
"Resolution 1701 was adopted to end the war, calling for full respect of the Blue Line."
1701 is a lot more than 'espect of the Blue Line' and hizbullah moves freely within UNIFIL's theater of operations and with their knowledge.
UNIFIL are helpless and often they are attacked by hizbullah ( dressed in civilian clothes ) and pelted with stones. UNIFIL cannot even take pictures inside southern villages or else they will be attacked and their cameras destroyed.

Weird because i often hear the houthistes say ‘aboivent’.... Et ´croivent’ .
Et avant de vous en prendre au lectorat, sachez monsieur bla-bla-bla qu’il est superflu de mentionner grammaire française quand on parle le français nativement. Dans ce cas on parlera juste de grammaire.... car si vous vous rendez dans une boulangerie parisienne, vous ne commanderez point de pain français, mais simplement un pain. Jibilé khbiz franjé bla-bla-bla !
