Wednesday, June 3, 1998 Published at 11:06 GMT 12:06 UK World: Middle East Lebanon and Israel accused of ceasefire violation The group monitoring the Israeli-Lebanese conflict in south Lebanon has accused both sides of violating a 1996 ceasefire agreement. The Monitoring Group said Israel's rocket attack on an Arab village on Sunday, in which one civilian was killed, constituted a breach of the agreement. It also said the firing of mortar rounds by a Lebanese armed group from a civilian area violated the ceasefire. The agreement prohibits either side from targeting civilians or from firing from civilian areas. From the newsroom of the BBC World Service |
