Hezbollah stockpiles weapons on Israeli border – Muricas News

The UN Safety Council prolonged the mandate of the peacekeeping power in southern Lebanon for a yr. The UNIFIL peacekeepers should monitor the safety of the Israeli-Lebanese border and be certain that the Lebanese military is the one army power south of the Litani River.

Throughout a dialogue within the Safety Council, the deputy head of the American mission, Richard Mills, demanded that the Hezbollah terrorist group cease creating weapons depots in southern Lebanon. “We categorical our deep concern in regards to the state of affairs in southern Lebanon, particularly the risk posed by Hezbollah,” he mentioned.

“More and more, peacekeepers are being prevented from finishing up their duties by stopping them from approaching objects of concern. The territory south of the Litani must be freed from weapons, except the Lebanese military and UNIFIL,” the diplomat added.
