UN, November 25 /Xinhua/ — The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has recorded 106 Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon since the cessation of hostilities was declared on November 27 last year, UN Secretary-General's spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at a daily briefing on Tuesday.
He said the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights had warned that nearly a year after the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel, Israeli forces were continuing to strike Lebanon, causing civilian deaths and destruction and threatening further violence.
Last Saturday, UNIFIL peacekeepers observed four Israeli airstrikes on three targets in the mission's area of operations in southern Lebanon, all in the eastern sector.
"These strikes are a violation not only of Lebanon's territorial sovereignty but also of UN Security Council Resolution 1701," the spokesman said, calling on all parties to faithfully comply with their ceasefire obligations.
Peacekeepers also found several pieces of unexploded ordnance, including mortar and artillery shells, as well as a rocket, in the western and eastern sectors, which were handed over to the Lebanese army for disposal, said S. Dujarric.
According to him, over the past year, UNIFIL peacekeepers have discovered more than 300 pieces of unexploded ordnance. –0–
