"Recent clashes between southern Lebanese villagers and UNIFIL peacekeepers have decreased the UN's ability to enforce Security Council Resolution 1701.
The head of the Hezbollah faction in the Lebanese parliament, Mohammed Raad, said yesterday that recent clashes between the inhabitants of southern Lebanese villages and U.N. peacekeeping forces in Lebanon have led to a loss of the powers vested in the force by U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701.
Raad said UNIFIL's movements south of the Litani River were restricted and had to be coordinated with the Lebanese army.
Inhabitants of a number of Shi'ite villages in the south harassed UNIFIL forces patrolling the region last week some 20 times, during which one UNIFIL soldier and one local resident were injured."
