Following the explosion in the home of a senior Hizbullah official in Lebanon earlier this week, Israel’s UN ambassador, Prof. Gabriella Shalev filed a formal complaint with the international organization, calling for a UNIFIL investigation into the blast which seems to have claimed the lives of five, pointing out the stockpiling of arms by the terror organization represents a violation of Resolution 1701, the Second Lebanon War ceasefire.

In her letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Shalev wrote “The aforementioned incidents leave no doubt regarding Hizbullah’s modus operandi to place its military weapons and facilities in civilian villages and houses. Such use of civilians as human shields endangers their safety,” stressing the need for the international community to act.
