UNIFIL Submits Film to U.N. on South Lebanon Blasts
UNIFIL submitted Thursday a film to the United Nations documenting a series of blasts two days ago in the Lebanese south, al-Markaziya news agency reported.
UNIFIL has said Tuesday”s explosions in the village of Khirbet Selm, 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the border with Israel, were probably caused by ammunition stored in an abandoned house.
A security source told the news agency he expected more weapons caches to be discovered "since the army and UNIFIL are still investigating the explosion."
"Stockpiling illegitimate weapons in Lebanon threatens the state”s interests (with other countries) and endangers public peace," he said.
He added the Khirbet Selm incident will not be "buried or overlooked" by Lebanon or the outside world.
UNIFIL has also said the explosions marked "a serious violation" of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701.
