Report: Russia Tells Lebanon ‘Tampering with UN Resolution 1701 Forbidden’
2018-12-20
[AnNahar] After recent reports that alleged tunnels were dug from Leb into the occupied territory of Paleostine, Russia has reportedly told Leb that it is "forbidden" to tamper with the UN Resolution 1701 related to the situation on the border between Leb and Israel, the Saudi Asharq al-Awsat daily reported on Monday.

The daily said that the "Russians have sent a message to the Lebanese side saying it’s forbidden to tamper with the resolution related to the situation on the Lebanese-Israeli border."

Said remarks come after the recent Russian-Israeli Military Security Committee meeting, during which Tel Aviv provided Moscow with details of the tunnels that were recently discovered across the border, added the daily.

Apart from Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
’s responsibility for the tunnels, the Russian side has reportedly asked Leb to deal with the issue through three proposals, the daily quoted unnamed sources as saying.

The first is the need to maintain the rules of engagement in the area covered by 1701, and to instruct the Lebanese army to deal with the matter and remove the causes of tension, which constitutes a commitment to the decision issued after the July 2006 war, they said.

They noted that the subject will be on the table of the Security Council within two days, to condemn "the tunnel issue."

United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
Security Council Resolution 1701 is a resolution that was intended to resolve the 2006 Israel-Leb conflict.

It was unanimously approved by the United Nations Security Council on 11 August 2006

It required all gangs except the official Lebanese military to remain north of the Litani River following the end of the 2006 Second Lebanese War.

#1  So Russia said to Lebanon, "stop doing those things you have to do to keep from being killed by those armed groups we sponsor."
