Israeli military forces currently control more than half of UNIFIL's positions in southern Lebanon, according to Shehab Wire. General Diodato Abaniara, head and commander of the UN peacekeeping mission, made the statement as the force continues its mandate in the region.
The general's remarks underline the extent to which Israeli operations have expanded into areas where the UN peacekeeping force maintains bases, complicating the mission's operations ahead of its scheduled conclusion.
