The UN said the existence of a Hezbollah weapons cache near the border with Israel was a clear violation of Resolution 1701. Israel is also seeking a similar condemnation of two more incidents that took place over the weekend, namely the infiltration of 15 unarmed Lebanese civilians into Israel and the attack on UN peacekeepers by villagers in Bir el-Salasel.

As for the incident involving the infiltration of Lebanese citizens into Israel, Shalev said UNIFIL "refrained from taking any action to prevent the crossing of these individuals into Israeli territory. "Some of the organizers of this violation even claimed that they had coordinated their actions with UNIFIL," she stated.
