Al-Aswad to MTV: UNIFIL failed to carry out its duties and was unable to protect Lebanon, while Hezbollah’s activities were taking place in areas close to its positions

The southern border and the Blue Line

What is independently established about the incident, and what is attributed to a party?

1. The UN identified the Blue Line in 2000 to verify Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. UNIFIL explains that it is a withdrawal line, not an agreed international border.

2. Security Council Resolution 1701, adopted in 2006, called for a full cessation of hostilities and strengthened UNIFIL’s mandate. The resolution is a reference for understanding reports about hostilities and deployments in southern Lebanon; it does not by itself verify a particular incident.
