PRESS STATEMENT BY THE
MONITORING COMMITTEE FOR SUPERVISION OF UNDERSTANDINGS OF APRIL 26, 1996
December 16, 1996
The Monitoring Group met on December 16, 1996, at the UNIFIL HQ compound
near Naqoura, Lebanon, to consider a complaint by Israel of a violation of
the April 26, 1996 Understanding with regard to the launching of Katyusha
rockets into Israel from the area of El-Kleila in Lebanon.
By unanimity, the Monitoring Group accepted as factual that at least one
Katyusha rocket was fired into Isarel from the area of El-Kleila in
Lebanon. It noted that this act ran counter to the April 26 Understanding.
In the present case, consistent with its commitment to the Understanding
and its responsibilities under it, the Government of Lebanon will do its
utmost to ensure compliance with the Understanding. The Monitoring Group
calls on all those responsible to take appropriate measures to ensure that
such acts do not recur.
The Monitoring Group expressed its great appreciation to UNIFIL for
providing facilities for the meeting.
