Israel contends that Hezbollah has continued to construct new facilities and carry out training north of the Litani River and in the Bekaa Valley, where the government of Lebanon has exclusive responsibility for security, Ban said.
"Hezbollah has not challenged allegations regarding the development of military facilities north of the Litani River and has publicly announced that it will use its arsenal against Israel if provoked," Ban said.
Israel claims Hezbollah has also adapted its tactics to the UN presence south of the Litani River and can fire rockets at Israel, Ban said.
In the report, Ban also expressed concern that Israeli air violations continue unabated "without any regard for the levels of tension and anger that these actions trigger on the ground."
He reiterated his urgent call for Israel to provide detailed information on the cluster munitions it fired during the war, saying the information provided last month "is of very limited value."
The UN chief also urged the parties to redouble their efforts to resolve the issue of two Israeli soldiers abducted by Hezbollah, which sparked the 2006 war, and Lebanese prisoners detained in Israel.
