		Identical letters dated 17 May 2010 from the Permanent Representative of Lebanon to the United Nations addressed to 
the Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council


	On instructions from my Government, I should like to inform you that on 16 April 2010 at 1130 and 1230 hours respectively, two Israeli enemy patrols crossed the technical fence in the area of Naqqar on the outskirts of the town of Shab`a. The first patrol did not cross the line of withdrawal. The second crossed the line of withdrawal, penetrating some 150 metres into Lebanese territory.
	My Government considers those actions to be a clear act of aggression against the national sovereignty of my country, a flagrant violation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006), and a threat to international peace and security.
	I should be grateful if you would have this letter circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda item 15, and of the Security Council.


(Signed) Nawaf Salam

Permanent Representative
