What they said نجاة عون ×

UNIFIL is responsible for the border points demarcated by the Blue Line, and if it leaves the south, these points that secure Lebanon's borders will become open and abandoned. Therefore, the fears lie in the absence of observers to protect the Lebanese border.

There are more than 10,000 citizens from three border villages — Dibbine, Ayn Ebel and Rmeish — who will be completely isolated if we cannot find an alternative to UNIFIL, as it secures the humanitarian corridor to these areas. They live under fear for their fate amid the expansion of the occupation around their villages and the tightening of the noose on them, while the state's presence recedes and it fails to secure the most basic means of steadfastness.

We are not only saying that we want the extension; rather, it is impossible to implement the latest Security Council resolution, 2790, which speaks of handing over all equipment, points and areas where UNIFIL elements are located to the army. The most important here are the points, and since there are points under occupation, handing them over to Israeli forces would consecrate the occupation.

We hope the investigation will not stop at the two people who were driving the truck and then the file is closed.
