On Wednesday night, the agenda of the UN security council the tunnels. A representative for UNIFIL, the UN force in Lebanon, confirmed that these infringe on israeli territory and a violation of UN resolution 1701, which stipulates that no other forces than the Lebanese army may reside between the Litani river and the israeli-lebanese border.
this is where Israel probing the terrain after the hollow sound under the limestone may be mentioned. After the tunnels were discovered, are destroyed, as Israel usually do with the Hamas tunnels along the Gaza border. To blow up the tunnels, Israel must take into lebanese territory, which could lead to a confrontation with the Iran-backed militia. Instead försåtmineras the tunnels and provided with the camcorders.
The israeli military leadership as well as a few politicians have known about the tunnels for two years. It was the images from the satellites and spaningsballonger that convinced the military experts, who were long skeptical of ortsbefolkningens reports of ”mysterious sounds”. The images showed that the trucks on the road north from the ”cement” in shiite villages near the border was not loaded with cement, but with gravel and trucks in the opposite direction was not loaded with sand and lime, which has been reasonable, but arrived empty.
Hassan Nasrallah, who otherwise are happy to take to the microphone, have not spoken since Israel showed the tunnels to the press two weeks ago. His silence is understandable: to deny tunnlarnas existence is not possible. But taking responsibility is not appropriate, just as Israel is using the tunnels in a diplomatic campaign to convince the world to tighten sanctions against Iran and Hezbollah.
the Tunnels have also become israeli domestic politics. The rumors about the tunnels and the knowledge of the formidable missilregn that are ahead for the northern communities ‘ part in the next war has accentuated the depopulation of the border areas.
