BEIRUT: Lebanon will file a complaint Wednesday against Israel at the U.N. for violating Security Council Resolution 1701 over the border incident between the two countries earlier this week, Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour said, reported the National New Agency Tuesday.

“Lebanon will present tomorrow [Wednesday], via its delegation at the U.N., a complaint against Israel for violating Resolution 1701 when its troops stepped into Lebanese territory in the Wazzani area yesterday,” Mansour told reporters after the Cabinet meeting.

The Lebanese Army engaged in a brief confrontation with Israeli soldiers shortly after dawn Monday when an Israeli army convoy crossed the Blue Line at Wazzani into Lebanon. The fight did not lead to any casualties.

UNSCR 1701 ended the 2006 July-August war between Lebanon and Israel and extended the mandate of the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon, which monitors a cease-fire between the two countries.

According to a statement released Monday by the Directorate General of the Army, Israeli soldiers walked 70 meters into Lebanese territories, prompting the Lebanese Army to confront the soldiers. An exchange of fire followed, until the Israeli soldiers withdrew.
