Israel to UN: Lebanon Ignoring Hizbullah Armament

[Ynet News] Yitzhak Benhorin - Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gabriella Shalev on Tuesday filed an official complaint with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon over Hizbullah's illegally storing of weapons south of the Litani River in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. The compliant referred to Monday's explosion at the home of a Hizbullah operative in south Lebanon. Another explosion took place at a Hizbullah arms cache three months ago.

Such use of civilians as human shields endangers their safety," Shalev wrote.
