United Nations Chief Antonio Guterres has called for an end to Israel’s “continued occupation” and “military operations” in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports.
“The continued occupation by the Israel [military] inside the UNIFIL area operations and the conduct of military operations in Lebanese territory are violations of Resolution 1701 … They must stop,” he told members of the UN peacekeeping force as he visited them, referring to the UN Security Council decision that ended a 2006 war between both sides.
