UN says Israel, Lebanon armies violated cease-fire

Alvaro de Soto, the UN Coordinator for the Middle East peace process, on Tuesday blamed both sides for last week's incident. The "Lebanese Army opened small arms fire after the IDF made an opening in the technical fence but whilst they were still on the Israeli side of the Blue Line," De Soto said.

He added that Lebanese firing and IDF crossing the Blue Line were both violations of the Security Council's cease-fire resolution 1701. (Reuters)
