UN Reports Blatant Security Violations by Armed Groups in Southern Lebanon
(Times of Israel) Luke Tress - The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said on Friday that it has recently observed at least four illicit shooting ranges in its area of operations where individuals "dressed in combat attire" were conducting live fire exercises. "The presence of weapons and the training activities that appear to be taking place are blatant violations of UN Security Council Resolution 1701," the UNIFIL spokesperson's office said. Lebanon's Armed Forces confirmed that it did not operate the shooting ranges. UNIFIL also said its freedom of movement has been increasingly restricted.
