UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said on Monday that it has not been notified of Israel's freeze of withdrawal from the southern part of Ghajar, a village on the Israel-Lebanon border, Xinhua quoted the state-run National News Agency (NNA) as reporting.

The UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said that UNIFIL has not been notified by Israel of any change in its stance on the matter of its withdrawal from Ghajar and the adjacent region.

"Our stance is very clear, Israel is obliged to withdraw from these two areas according to (UN Security Council) Resolution 1701, " Tenenti was quoted as saying by the NNA.

An earlier report on Monday said that Israel has frozen its plans to withdraw from the southern village of Ghajar, a disputed area located on the Golan Heights.
