BEIRUT: A senior French Foreign Ministry official toured the U.N.-drawn Blue Line near the border with Israel Tuesday starting from the Fatima Gate crossing in Kfar Kila to the village of Adaysseh following Israeli reports that the Jewish state was nibbling away Lebanese territory, the Central News Agency reported. The Lebanese border village of Adaysseh faces the Israeli kibbutz of Misgav Am. Nicolas de Riviere was accompanied on his tour by senior officers from the Lebanese Army, the U.N. peacekeeping force UNIFIL, and the French Ambassador to Lebanon Patrice Paoli, the agency said, quoting security sources in the south. It added that de Riviere and UNIFIL officers inspected at length Misgav Am, which Israel recently acknowledged is a Lebanese territory. Accompanied by 20 UNIFIL military jeeps and a number of Lebanese Army military vehicles, they also inspected the Lebanese and Israeli sides of the border villages of Ghajar and Wazzani, the agency said. It quoted the sources as saying that the tour was linked to reports by the Israeli newspaper Maariv that Israel was nibbling away Lebanese territory in Adaysseh and Misgav Am.
