IDF accuses UNIFIL force of monitoring Israeli troop movements, adding that some of the information collected ended up in Hezbollah’s possession.
Israeli military representatives told lawmakers in a classified Knesset hearing that United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon have been collecting information on IDF troops and that some of the material is reaching Hezbollah, according to a report published by Arutz Sheva on Wednesday.
The disclosure was made during a closed session of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
According to the report, IDF officials said the information gathered by members of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, has been leaking directly to Hezbollah and creating a serious security risk for Israeli soldiers operating in southern Lebanon.
