Lebanon’s FM says UN report on Majdal Shams will discredit Israel’s claims
Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib says the UN report on the July attack by the Israeli regime on Majdal Shams will “clarify the facts and discredit Israel’s justification.”
During a Sunday meeting with Major General Patrick Gauchat, head of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO), Bou Habib urged the “full and comprehensive implementation of UN Resolution 1701 from both sides.”
After the issuance of UN Resolution 1701, which put an end to the war between the Israeli regime and Hezbollah in 2006, tripartite meetings have been held regularly under the leadership of UNIFIL, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, at its headquarters in southern Lebanon between Lebanese and Israeli officials.
The Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) quoted Foreign Minister Bou Habib as stating that the report would question Israel’s justification of “self-defense” for its July 30 assault.
Bou Habib underscored Lebanon’s rejection of “targeting civilians” anywhere in the world and warned that Israel’s recent attacks on Lebanon could trigger “the outbreak of a regional war.”
The July rocket attack on a football pitch in Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights killed at least 12 people and wounded 30 others.
The Tel Aviv regime blamed Hezbollah for the attack and used it as justification for a subsequent strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs. Hezbollah has denied involvement in the tragedy.
That assault assassinated senior Lebanese military commander Fuad Shukr.
Hezbollah has been conducting attacks on an almost daily basis on Israeli military bases in solidarity with the Palestinians since October.
