BEIRUT, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Monday that Israel is not fully implementing the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1701, the National News Agency reported.

"Israel violates Lebanon's sovereignty around 150 times in average per month," said Berri during his meeting with the U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Elizabeth Richard in Beirut.

The latest violation, according to Berri, is the launch of a balloon for inspection above Mays Al-Jabal in South Lebanon.

"The solution to the end of hostilities is the full implementation of Resolution 1701," he said.

The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 is a resolution that was intended to resolve the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.

It called for an end to hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah forces, the deployment of the Lebanese army along the Israeli border, and the establishment of a weapon-free zone south of the Litani River.
