ALBAWABA - The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), operating in southern Lebanon, called on the Israeli army to withdraw completely from the country's territory, warning of a deterioration in the situation in the region and a loss of stability.
During his visit to the town of Dahra in southern Lebanon, UNIFIL Sector West Commander Brigadier General Nicola Mandolesi affirmed "UNIFIL's full support for the local population," emphasizing "strong and ongoing coordination with the Lebanese Armed Forces, which continues to carry out mine clearance operations in the area, a prerequisite for the safe return of civilians."
He added, "We continue to urge the Israeli army to fully withdraw from Lebanese territory, as its presence north of the Blue Line constitutes a violation of Resolution 1701."
Mandolesi further mentioned, "At the same time, our coordination with the Lebanese army remains strong, and we continue to support the army in deploying its forces to help restore security and stability and work with the government to re-establish state authority in the south."
