Israel to Kfarshouba Residents: You Put Yourselves in Danger!
Readers Number : 202
18/07/2009 A day after residents of the southern town of Kfarshouba stormed into the sand barrier that was erected recently by Israeli occupation forces on Lebanese soil and raised the Lebanese and Resistance flags, the Israeli occupation army strongly protested the move, claiming that they had put themselves in danger.
An Israeli army spokesman charged that Friday's action was a breach of the UN Security Council truce resolution that brought an end to the Israeli 2006 war against Lebanon. "We consider this intrusion by Lebanese civilians to be a gross violation of UN Resolution 1701," the spokesman claimed.
"These civilians, who included children, put themselves in danger through their actions," the Israeli spokesman threatened. "Our forces deliberately refrained from intervening after establishing that these civilians were unarmed," the spokesman added.
Around 70 Lebanese, led by member of the Development and Liberation parliamentary bloc MP Qassem Hashem, cut through barbed wire and marched on the post in the KfarShuba hills which
Israel set up earlier this week.
The protesters put up Lebanese and Resistance flags just outside the post, before being asked by UN peacekeepers to evacuate the area.
20 days ago, Israeli occupation forces erected a 20-meter high and 70 meters wide sand barrier near the Hasan Gate in Kafarshouba.
The Israeli violation took place under the eyes of the UNIFIL.
But the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, which is charged with overseeing the 2006 ceasefire resolution, has said that it lies outside the area of its mandate.
