Michele Montas, the Secretary-General's spokesperson says additional UNIFIL troops have been deployed on the ground to prevent any further incidents. The Secretary-General took the opportunity to remind the parties of their obligation to fully adhere to Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) and respect the cessation of hostilities agreement. UNIFIL is investigating the incident.
