UN chief condemns Hizbullah intervention in Syria

UN chief Ban Ki-moon has condemned Hizbullah's military intervention in Syria , noting that it violates UN Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006), media reports said Friday (November 11th).

Ban called on Hizbullah and all Lebanese parties to halt any interference in the Syrian conflict, al-Arabiya television reported.

He said Hizbullah's involvement breaches Lebanon's so-called dissociation policy, warning that any military activities by Hizbullah or any other Lebanese elements in Syria would subject Lebanon to grave risks.

Ban also said that the movement of fighters and weapons across the Lebanese-Syrian border is a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, the TV network said.

Several thousand Hizbullah fighters are fighting alongside Syrian regime forces in Syria.

Hizbullah has never provided an official death toll for its fighters, but monitors estimate that several hundred have been killed in Syria, including top commanders .
