UN warns Israel over attacks against peacekeeping force in Lebanon

United Nations, Oct 10 (Prensa Latina) The United Nations Peacekeeping Mission in Lebanon (Unifil) warned Israel today after reporting several attacks against its staff and facilities along the Blue Line border that separates both countries.

A UN statement reminded Tel Aviv Defense Forces and all relevant players of their obligations to guarantee the security of UN personnel and property.

It also called for respect for the inviolability of United Nations facilities at all times.

“Unifil personnel are present in southern Lebanon to support a return to stability under the mandate of the Security Council,” the note stressed.

The Mission denounced recent incursions by Israel in the Lebanese region of Naqoura and other areas, as well as attacks against the headquarters of the peacekeeping force deployed in that area.

On Thursday, two peacekeepers were also injured after an IDF Merkava tank fired at an observation tower at the Unifil headquarters in Naqoura.
