Situation in the South is Normal, We are Following up Shebaa Blasts
UNIFIL spokeswoman Yasmina Bouziane has said that the situation on both sides of the border is normal except for the increase in joint Lebanese army and UNIFIL patrols following the firing of rockets into northern Israel several days ago.
Bouziane denied in remarks published by pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat that peacekeepers and the Lebanese army went on alert after several explosions were heard inside the Israeli-occupied Shebaa farms area. She said UNIFIL was following up the issue.
She told Asharq al-Awsat that latest contacts made by UNIFIL commander Maj. Gen. Claudio Graziano with Lebanese officials were part of his mission.
Graziano is in continuous contact with all sides involved in the security situation in the region south of the Litani river, Bouziane added.
