Jerusalem, July 1, 2001
Cabinet: Syria suporting criminal Hizbullah activities
(Communicated by the Cabinet Secretariat)
Israel is in full compliance with United Nations Security Council
Rsolution #425, and is
deployed along the border determined by the UN. Despite this,
Israel has been subject to recurrent criminal attacks across its
northern border. Two IDF soldiers were wounded in the last of
these attacks, which occurred Friday, June 29, 2001.
The government of Israel has determined that these criminal
activities of Hizbullah's are being carried out with the full
knowledge and sponsorship of Syria, whose army is present in
Lebanon. Syria's position has prevented - and continues to
prevent - the deployment of the Lebanese army on the border with
Israel according to the UN resolution. Syria enables the
accelerated arming of Hizbullah in Lebanon. The foreign ministers
of both Syria and Lebanon have published statements justifying
this unprovoked aggression in contravention of the UN resolution.
The government of Israel announces an IAF attack on a Syrian
radar position in Lebanon.
Israel wishes to maintain peaceful and neighborly relations with
Lebanon. Israel calls on the government of Lebanon to deploy its
army along the border with Israel and calls on the governments of
Syria and Lebanon to respect and implement United Nations
Security Council Resolution #425.
