The UNIFIL issued a statement on Saturday, whereby it said that “on the 26 and 27 December, in the course of the ongoing investigation into the presence of tunnels along the Blue Line, UNIFIL together with the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) surveyed the premises of an old concrete factory in the southern part of Kfarkela, after UNIFIL had observed liquefied cement flowing out from the building within this facility.
The liquid overflowing on the Lebanese side had been injected by the Israel army through a shaft drilled on their end of a tunnel that UNIFIL had previously independently confirmed to be crossing the Blue Line in the same general area.
Based on this observation, UNIFIL can confirm that the old concrete factory in Kfarkela has an opening to the tunnel, which is crossing the Blue Line.
UNIFIL is working in close coordination with the LAF in efforts to enable appropriate steps to address the violation of resolution 1701, the statement added.
