Lebanon’s Rejection of Draft Renewal of UNIFIL Force for Lack of Coordination with Lebanese Government

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Lebanon announces its rejection of the draft renewal of the “UNIFIL” force presented to the Security Council, as it does not refer to the necessity of coordinating “UNIFIL” in its operations with the Lebanese government.

UNIFIL forces have been in Lebanon since 1978

The Lebanese Foreign Minister in the caretaker government, Abdullah Bouhabib, announced today, Friday, Lebanon’s rejection of the draft resolution put forward in the Security Council regarding the renewal of the “UNIFIL” force.

Bou Habib explained that the draft “does not refer to the necessity and importance of UNIFIL coordinating its operations with the Lebanese government represented by the Lebanese army.”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs affirmed Lebanon’s refusal to legitimize the transfer of UNIFIL’s mandate from Chapter Six, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701 of 2006, which calls for resolving the conflict by peaceful means, to Chapter Seven of the United Nations Charter, which calls for imposing the decision by force.

Bou Habib said, “Showing the land borders contributes to putting an end to the ongoing tensions that get the borders because of them,” bearing in mind that Lebanon had called during the tripartite meetings, which are being held in Naqoura under the auspices of the United Nations, to complete the talks on addressing the controversial and reserved points related to the Blue Line, unless The Israeli side did not respond. Therefore, Minister Bou Habib asked the members of the Security Council in his meetings to work to complete the talks on it.

This comes after Bouhabib began, yesterday morning, Thursday, his meetings at the United Nations in New York, on a visit aimed at easing tensions and maintaining security and stability in southern Lebanon, prior to the upcoming session of the Security Council at the end of this month with a view to renewing UNIFIL’s mandate for an additional year.

The visit also includes keeping up with the international contacts that the ministry made with a large number of member states (permanent and non-permanent) in the Security Council, in exchange for Washington and a number of Arab capitals intensifying their pressure to push the Security Council to expand the tasks and powers of the deployed emergency forces.

Minister Bouhabib and the accompanying delegation started his meetings by meeting with the permanent representative of the United States of America, then with the permanent representatives of the United Kingdom, Japan and France, in addition to a meeting with the ambassadors of Arab countries to the United Nations, and he also held a lengthy meeting with the Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations Affairs in the Middle East Department .

The coordinator of the Lebanese government with UNIFIL, Brigadier General P.S.C. Mounir Shehadeh, participated in the Lebanese delegation, where he gave a presentation on the “Blue Line”, the points that Lebanon has reservations about, the Israeli violations, and the Lebanese territories that are still under Israeli occupation, in the presence of a large number of military attaches of the member states. In the United Nations and international staff in the Secretariat of the United Nations.

Last June, local media reported that Bouhabib was seeking to correct the “mistake” that was made last year and led to the extension of the mandate of the “UNIFIL” force for a year, according to new “rules of engagement” that allowed the international forces to expand their movement in southern Lebanon. .

Sources in the Foreign Ministry told the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar that Bouhabib had contacted the ambassadors of the permanent members of the Security Council, in an attempt to rephrase the paragraph that says that “UNIFIL forces do not need prior authorization or permission from anyone to carry out the tasks assigned to them, and that they are allowed allow it to conduct its operations independently,” and called on “the parties to guarantee UNIFIL’s freedom of movement, including by allowing the conduct of announced and unannounced patrols.”

And the UN Security Council renewed, on August 31, 2022, the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon for one year, provided that it also continues to support the Lebanese army logistically for a period of 6 months, with the addition of a paragraph to Article 16, which talks about UNIFIL not needing prior authorization. to perform its duties.

It is worth mentioning that UNIFIL forces have been present in Lebanon since 1978, and include about ten thousand soldiers, and are deployed in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah’s Provocations: Escalating Tensions at the Lebanese Borders with Occupied Palestine

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Israeli media commented on the incident of throwing a Molotov cocktail at the border fence near Metulla, saying that this is an “elevation” of Hezbollah’s provocations.

The Lebanese borders with occupied Palestine are witnessing escalating tensions due to the continuous Israeli violations in the area

Israeli media reported today, Sunday, that “the throwing of a Molotov cocktail by a Hezbollah activist” at the border fence near Metulla is “a step-up in Hezbollah’s provocations.”

In the details, the Kan channel correspondent in the north, Robbie Hammarschlag, said that “a Hezbollah activist riding a motorcycle threw a Molotov cocktail at the border fence, but it did not ignite, while it caused damage to the infrastructure of the fence.”

The reporter added, “The launcher of the Molotov cocktail then fled, while the army forces did not succeed in responding in time.”

Hammarschlag added, “It seems that Hezbollah activists were not affected by the threats of Security Minister Yoav Gallant, who visited the Shebaa Farms last week and threatened to turn Lebanon back into the stone age.”

In the context, the Israeli media saw that “Hezbollah is turning the border line into an active confrontation line with constant friction.”

Several Israeli media outlets discussed what they considered the state of “tension in the north” and the possibility of a war with Hezbollah, stressing that the occupation entity would suffer a catastrophic situation in any war with Hezbollah, and that the threats of the Israeli Minister of Security, Yoav Gallant, are considered “ridiculous” to the Secretary-General. For Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

The lieutenant colonel in the Israeli reserve, and expert on Arab affairs, Alon Avitar, told the Israeli “Channel 13” that Sayyed Nasrallah is “not confused” and that he believes that the Israeli reality is “fragile, and the internal rift is widening,” noting that the Israeli rift “constitutes An opportunity” for Sayyed Nasrallah.

In turn, Major General in the Israeli reserves, and expert in national security affairs, Kobi Marom, saw that Gallant’s threats to Lebanon are “empty,” and said that “when you threaten the second party militarily, this threat must be reliable, but the threats are empty, and Israel adopts containment.” .

The Lebanese borders with occupied Palestine are witnessing escalating tensions, due to the continuous Israeli violations of the area. Last June, the Lebanese from the occupied “Kfar Shuba” hills removed barbed wire placed by the Israeli occupation, and filled a tunnel that it built in the area.

Tensions rose between Lebanon and the Israeli occupation, after the latter violated, last July, the northern part of the border town of Ghajar, by taking dangerous measures, represented by the construction of a barbed fence and the construction of a concrete wall around the entire town, similar to what it is doing at The border between Lebanon and occupied Palestine.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah – responded quickly to this, by setting up two tents inside the Shebaa Farms areas, in the face of Israeli provocations and violations at the Lebanese border.

This was preceded by Lebanese youths destroying surveillance cameras, which the occupation had installed over the separating fence at Fatima Gate.

The Israeli fear of the growing military capabilities of Hezbollah, the fear of any ongoing war, and the lack of “Israel”‘s readiness for it in light of its successive internal crises, is increasing, which is highlighted by the Israeli media remarkably.

On an almost daily basis, the Israeli occupation deals with this issue, as Israeli media outlets have warned of surprises that Hezbollah is preparing for “Israel”.

Against the background of the alert in the north, Brigadier General Uri Agmon of the “Israel Security Commanders” organization said that the current situation “reminds us of the feeling that prevailed before the Yom Kippur War” (October 1973 war).

Earlier, the military commentator on the Israeli “Channel 13”, Alon Ben David, said that the scene, which documented a number of Hezbollah members walking at the Lebanese-Palestinian border, “raises tension and reminds of 2006.” He added, “This is exactly what happened to us on the eve of the kidnapping of the two prisoners in 2006.”

Hezbollah Charged with Premeditated Murder of Irish Soldier in Southern Lebanon Attack

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The 23-year-old Irish soldier, Sean Rooney, was killed and three other of his colleagues were wounded on December 14th, during an incident in which their armored car was shot while it was passing in the Al-Aqabiya area in the south of the country.

The military judiciary has charged five Hezbollah members, one of them arrested, with premeditated murder in the attack on a patrol of the Irish battalion operating in the United Nations Interim Force in southern Lebanon, which resulted in the death of an Irish soldier, according to a judicial source told AFP Thursday.

The 23-year-old Irish soldier, Sean Rooney, was killed and three other of his colleagues were wounded on December 14th, during an incident in which their armored car was shot while it was passing in the Al-Aqabiya area in the south of the country. Less than two weeks later, Hezbollah, the powerful political and military force, handed over the army the main shooter.

The indictment issued by the first military investigation judge, Fadi Sawan, accused Hezbollah members of “forming a group of evil people and implementing one criminal project.”

He emphasized that the actions of each of the arrested, Muhammad Ayad, and four fugitives from justice apply to the fifth paragraph of Article 549 of the Lebanese Penal Code, which states that “if a crime is committed against an official employee during the exercise of his position, during the exercise of it, or because of it, he shall be punished with death.”

The thirty-page decision concluded the aforementioned persons with “deliberate killing.” All were referred to the military court for trial. Sawan also handed a copy of the indictment to UNIFIL.

And video and audio recordings of surveillance cameras seized in the vicinity of the attack site, according to the indictment, showed, “clearly the attacking patrol was surrounded from all sides, and attacked by gunmen, and some of them were heard saying: We are from Hezbollah, and they were calling to each other via wireless devices.”

At the beginning of the year, the Lebanese judiciary had charged seven people with the crimes of “threatening to open fire with an unlicensed weapon, destroying the military vehicle and intimidating its members.”

After the killing of the Irish soldier, with a bullet that penetrated his head from behind, Hezbollah hastened to offer condolences to UNIFIL. He called, through an official, not to involve him in the “unintended” incident. He then handed over the primary shooter as part of his cooperation with the Army Intelligence Directorate’s investigation.

UNIFIL did not specify the details of the incident, which occurred outside the scope of its operations, while the Irish army reported that two armored cars containing eight personnel were subjected to “small arms fire” while on their way to Beirut.

From time to time, skirmishes take place between UNIFIL patrols and Hezbollah supporters in the UNIFIL area of ​​operations near the border in the south of the country. But it rarely escalates and the Lebanese authorities quickly contain it.

The UNIFIL force has been present in Lebanon since 1978, and it includes about ten thousand soldiers and is deployed in southern Lebanon to separate Israel and Lebanon.

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon is carrying out a maneuver that simulates the attack on Israeli settlements, and the head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, Mr. Hashem Safieddine, confirms that Hezbollah is observing the occupier’s inability to bring about a new equation that Netanyahu sought and failed.

  • Part of the maneuver carried out by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon

The head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, Mr. Hashim Safieddine, confirmed today, Sunday, that the Israeli occupation will see the action of precision missiles in the heart of its entity, if it commits a foolish act to bypass the rules of the game.

Safi Al-Din said, during the closing speech of the maneuver carried out by the resistance in southern Lebanon, that the weapons will remain in the hands of the resistance fighters until complete victory is achieved, pointing out that the message to the Zionist enemy is that “the resistance that achieved victories did not get tired.”

Safi Al-Din confirmed that the martyr leader Imad Mughniyeh was a resistance fighter, and he was never a terrorist as they claim, and described the martyr Qassem Soleimani as the founder of the axis of resistance.

The CEO of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon added that the maneuver sent messages about the full readiness of the resistance to always confront any aggression and to establish the deterrence equations that protected Lebanon, stressing that the message to the Israeli enemy is that “the resistance has not tired and has not retreated, despite all the political pressures and economic blockade.”

Safi Al-Din added that the resistance watched “the failure of the enemy and its inability to establish a new formula in the battle of revenge of the free people in Gaza,” adding, “We tell the Israelis that if they think of expanding the circle of aggression, the resistance is ready to shower the enemy with what it cannot respond.”

Safi Al-Din referred to what some media outlets reported earlier that the maneuver would include displaying resistance to precision missiles, and said that the enemy will see “the act of precision missiles in the heart of its being, if it commits foolishness to bypass the rules of the game,” adding that we do not need to display it.

“The positive atmosphere in the region is a valuable opportunity for everyone”

Safieddine called on the Lebanese to increase their reassurance, and to rely on the resistance that is concerned with protecting them all, stressing that the Shebaa Farms, the Kfar Shuba Hills and the Lebanese part of the town of Ghajar “will return and our eyes will remain directed to it until its liberation is written.”

Safi Al-Din pointed out that bets on international resolutions and the international community are “losing”, but that whoever restores Palestine and protects the wealth is “strength and growing resistance.”

The Hezbollah official explained that the positive atmosphere in the region is “a valuable opportunity for everyone,” adding that “there is no higher goal than for our resistance to be unified to end the injustice of our people.”

And he added that the axis of resistance will continue to develop from “Gaza, the West Bank, and the occupied Palestinian territories in 1948, and Lebanon, starting from the Islamic Republic of Iran,” addressing the Israeli occupation by saying, “We watched your capabilities well, and we knew your inability to create a new equation. Netanyahu gasped after it, but he failed.”

For his part, a reporter reported fieldsthat The resistance carried out a limited offensive maneuver in southern Lebanon that ended with storming a settlement and simulating the capture of Israeli soldiers.

He pointed out that the maneuver included the use of “unmanned aerial vehicles that simulated an attack on Israeli settlements.”

The leader of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, Richard Riachi, said that the resistance maneuver is a message that “the struggle with the enemy will continue until complete liberation.”

In turn, the leader of the Palestine Liberation Front, Muhammad Yassin, said that Hezbollah confirmed through the maneuver “its firm position on the continuation of the resistance and the liberation of Palestine,” adding that it confirms the presence of those who stand by the Palestinian people in light of the conspiracies against them.
