The Lebanese foreign ministry sent the letter on June 11 to Ban and the president of the Security Council via the Lebanese mission in New York. In the letter, the ministry complained about Israel's continued violation of Lebanese territory and sovereignty, the occupation of the Shebaa farms area and Kfarshouba hills and lack of cooperation with UN peacekeepers' efforts to withdraw from the Lebanese part of Ghajar.
Such moves are a clear violation of Security Council resolution 1701, the ministry said, ahead of Ban's report on the resolution which is expected to be issued next week.
The letter informed Ban about the arrest of Israeli spies and stressed that the Lebanese army continued to study cluster bomb maps that Israel delivered to UNIFIL. The foreign ministry considered the maps not complete.
The UN chief was also informed that the Lebanese government was doing all effort to fully implement resolution 1701, including controlling the borders.
