Telecom Committee: If Our State was Capable, Israel Wouldn't have Dared to Violate Our Sovereignty
The parliamentary telecommunications committee denounced on Monday the Israeli espionage stations along the border as violation of Lebanon's sovereignty, pointing out that it is happening despite the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 and the presence of the UNIFIL.
“The ongoing Israeli aggression took a new direction in terms of the used techniques,” head of the committee MP Hassan Fadlallah told reporters after chairing a two-hour meeting at the parliament.
He slammed the Israeli violation, calling on all the Lebanese to “confront it with all the possible means.”
“If we had a capable state and less political disputes, Israel wouldn't have dared to carry out any violation,” Fadllallah added.
Lebanon is expected to file a complaint to the United Nations Security Council over the issue in light of the report issued by the parliamentary telecommunications committee.
Speaker Nabih Berri revealed on Wednesday that Israel had set up a number of espionage stations along its border with Lebanon, starting from al-Naqoura passing by Khayyam all the way to Sheba.
The biggest espionage station is allegedly installed in al-Abbad and Jan al-Alam areas, which are located near the U.N. demarcated Blue line.
Fadlallah rejected to declare the details of the committee's meeting, adding that the “matter is dangerous and harms all the Lebanese on all levels.”
He stressed that “the matter is urgent and exceptional and the cabinet should convene to take the necessary measures.”
On Saturday, caretaker Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn condemned the recently installed Israeli spying stations along its border with Lebanon, considering that the Lebanese state should swiftly resolve the matter.
The caretaker Minister renewed calls on the Lebanese to “unite and set aside their differences to confront the Israeli plot against Lebanon.”
