After the Security Council renewed UNIFIL's mandate for another year today (Wednesday), Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon showed aerial photos of rocket launchers near UNIFIL bases.

During the speech in which he presented the evidence, Danon warned the UN and Lebanon that either UN Resolution 1701 is implemented in full - including a complete withdrawal of Hezbollah north of the Litani River - or Israel will do it for them.

He ended with a warning for Hezbollah: "Withdraw from Israel's border now or you will lead Lebanon to ruin. The choice is yours!"
