Israel Accused of Breaking Ceasefire

HeadlineSep 11, 2006

Over the weekend, the Israeli military was accused of breaking the month-old ceasefire after it detained five Lebanese civilians in southern Lebanon.

  • Alexander Ivanko, spokesperson for the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon: “It is a violation of the cessation of hostilities agreement, and that’s why we got involved straight away and this is not the first time this has happened. And actually in all these cases, we have secured the release of all the people who have been detained by the Israeli Defense Forces since the cessation agreement was signed on the 14th of August. So we have succeeded in securing the release of all the people including the last five.”
