Two UNIFIL Peacekeepers Again Injured By IDF Fire In Southern Lebanon
A UN source says Israeli forces fired at an observation post belonging to the UNIFIL peacekeeping force at its main base at Naqoura in southern Lebanon earlier this morning, wounding two people.
The report comes after two peacekeepers were injured in a similar incident a day prior.
Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the UN undersecretary general for peace operations, told the UN Security Council that the “safety and security” of UN peacekeepers in Lebanon is “increasingly in jeopardy”.
Minister for Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi confirmed on Friday that two Indonesian peacekeepers had been injured in the assault and are in hospital for further observation.
The White House is “deeply concerned” by reports Israel fired on UN peacekeeper headquarters in south Lebanon, a National Security Council spokesperson said.
Minister of Defence Guido Crosetto called the attack on the UNIFIL bases “totally unacceptable”.
