UNIFIL Spokesperson: New Barrier Is on Israeli Side of Lebanese Border
(Ha'aretz) Yaniv Kubovich - Andrea Tenenti, a spokesperson for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), said Tuesday that the barrier Israel is building along two sections of the border with Lebanon is on the Israeli side of the border between the two countries in areas that are not sensitive. Last week Lebanese leaders said they would act to stop Israel from building the barrier. The new fence will replace existing barriers in two sections along the border - between Metula and Misgav Am in the east, and between Hanita and Rosh Hanikra in the west. In places where homes adjacent to the border are under a direct threat of sniper fire or anti-tank missiles, the barrier will take the form of a wall.
