UN peacekeepers say they found around four tonnes of mainly ammonium nitrate explosives this month in a south Lebanon border village under Israeli occupation, AFP reports.
On July 2, during a “routine route check” near Hula, “peacekeepers found 385 containers abandoned inside a building, containing approximately 4,000 kilograms of explosive material, consisting mainly of ammonium nitrate compounds,” the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) has said in a statement.
Unifil specialists “later carried out on-site procedures to render the material inert, making it safe and removing the risk it posed”.
