3.1-Million-Square-Meter Land Found While Marking Blue Line
The Lebanese army command said on Saturday that "liberated and deserted land of 3.1 million square meters" was found in south Lebanon while marking the U.N.-delineated Blue Line.
It said a military committee continues in cooperation with UNIFIL to mark the Blue Line in areas where it was distorted by the Israeli aggression on Lebanon in July 2006.
"The committee has already marked 9 points and will make 12 other markings, including rugged terrain which was reached for the first time since 1949," the military said in its communiqué.
"The (army) command will work hard in cooperation with the official authorities and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon to clear the lands from mines," the communiqué added.
