The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has determined that a wall constructed by the Israeli military crosses the Blue Line, the de facto border between Israel and Lebanon. According to UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, the concrete T-wall built by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has made over 4,000 square meters of Lebanese territory inaccessible to residents. Another section of the wall under construction near Yaroun also reportedly extends into Lebanese land. UNIFIL informed the Israeli military of its findings and requested the removal of the wall, calling the construction a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and Lebanon’s sovereignty. The Israeli military denied the allegation, stating the wall is part of a broader border reinforcement plan initiated in 2022 to strengthen defenses along the northern frontier. UNIFIL, which has operated in southern Lebanon since 1978, continues to monitor the situation with more than 10,000 troops from 50 countries.
