Israeli flags on Lebanon highway violate UN resolution, UNIFIL says

Israel's military invaded a swathe of southern Lebanon during a war with Hezbollah this year, establishing a self-declared security zone that it says aims to shield northern Israel from attacks.

BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, Aug 17 - Israeli flags planted on a main coastal highway in southern Lebanon are a violation of a U.N. Security Council resolution, the U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon said on Monday, urging all sides to avoid \"provocative actions\".
