President Aoun says Lebanon is waiting for results of investigations into tunnels
President Michel Aoun asserted on Tuesday to UNIFIL Commander Major General Stefano Del Col that Lebanon is committed to the implementation of Resolution 1701 out of its keenness to preserve security and stability in South Lebanon.
Aoun also noted that Lebanon is waiting for the results of the current field investigations concerning the tunnels issue in order to act accordingly.
 
On Monday, Lebanese army soldiers and United Nations peacekeepers patrolled the border between Lebanon and Israel, as Israel continued its operation to crackdown on tunnels it said were dug by Hezbollah.
The situation along the border has remained calm, but on Saturday, Israeli soldiers opened fire at suspected Hezbollah activists the military said, the first such incident since Israel launched its operation.

The state-run National News Agency, however, said the Israeli soldiers shot into the air when they saw a Lebanese army patrol near the border demarcation, known as the “Blue Line.”
There were no reports of casualties.
Israel's military said last week it had found passages dug across the Israel-Lebanon border to be used for carrying out attacks inside Israel. It sent mechanical diggers, troops and anti-tunneling equipment there to shut them down.

The United Nations peacekeeping Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) on Thursday confirmed the existence of a tunnel near the Blue Line, describing it as a “serious occurrence.”
