Israel Lifts Naval Blockade of Lebanon
The United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon says Israel has lifted it two-month-long sea blockade of the country. The commander of the U.N. force said Israel Friday lifted the sea blockade as an international naval force began patrolling the Lebanese coastline.
Israel lifted its air blockade of Lebanon on Thursday.
Israel imposed the blockade at the start of its war against Hezbollah to prevent the guerrilla group from getting arms supplies from Iran through Syria. A U.N.-mandated ceasefire ended the war last month.
在黎巴嫩的联合国维和部队说，以色列已经解除对黎巴嫩两个月的海上封锁。联合国部队指挥官说，一支国际海军开始在黎巴嫩沿海巡逻，以色列星期五解除了海上封锁。
以色列星期四解除了对黎巴嫩的空中封锁。
以色列对黎巴嫩的封锁在以色列开始打击真主党游击队时开始实施，以防止真主党通过叙利亚从伊朗获得军火供应。联合国通过的停火协议上个月结束了这场冲突。
