UNIFIL's position on northern Ghajar is very clear: Israel must withdraw from this area and its presence there is a clear and continuing violation of resolution 1701.

UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander, Major General Paolo Serra, today called on Lebanese President Michel Sleiman and the Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri and held separate meetings with them in Beirut.

Arriving at the scene, a UN vehicle had crashed against an electricity pole in the vicinity of Suq al Khan, South Lebanon.
