“#Global #Outrage as #Israel #Fires on #UN #Peacekeepers in #Lebanon“

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has accused Israeli forces of deliberately firing at its peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, injuring two Indonesian personnel. The attack on the peacekeepers’ watchtower in Naqoura has sparked international condemnation, with countries like Italy, France, and Turkey denouncing the violation of international humanitarian law. Israel’s military claims the firing was part of its operations against Hezbollah, but the incident has raised tensions globally. UN peacekeeping chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix called for immediate action, stating, “UNIFIL’s safety is increasingly in jeopardy.“ Countries such as the United States, Spain, and the European Union have expressed deep concern, demanding accountability for this attack on peacekeepers whose mission is to maintain stability in a volatile region. The world watches as Israel faces pressure to explain the deliberate targeting of UN forces, which could escalate further. #UNPeacekeeper
