Lebanon's president, Joseph Aoun, has asked the foreign minister, Youssef Rajji, to file a complaint against Israel for building a wall inside Lebanese territory. The president's office said Saturday the complaint should include a statement from the United Nations peacekeeping force, UNIFIL. UNIFIL, which is deployed along the border, reported on Friday that the Israeli army had erected a wall southwest of the Lebanese village of Yaroun. The wall crossed the border line, rendering more than 4 thousand square meters of Lebanese territory inaccessible. UNIFIL informed the Israeli army and requested the wall's removal, stating it violates a United Nations Security Council resolution and Lebanon's sovereignty.
