Overview
- UNIFIL reported geospatial surveys in October and November confirming concrete T-wall sections near Yaroun extend past the UN-mapped Blue Line.
- The mission said one surveyed wall rendered more than 4,000 square meters of Lebanese territory inaccessible to local residents.
- Peacekeepers notified the Israeli military of the findings, requested the walls be moved, and plan to formally convey the November survey results.
- The Israeli military rejected the assessment, describing the works as part of a border reinforcement plan launched in 2022 and asserting the wall does not cross the Blue Line.
- UNIFIL called the presence and construction inside Lebanese territory a breach of Lebanese sovereignty and Resolution 1701, reiterating its call for an Israeli withdrawal from all areas north of the line.
