US EditionU.N. and France Slam Israel After Attack on U.N. Peacekeepers in Lebanon
UNIFIL peacekeepers took defensive action to neutralize an Israeli reconnaissance drone after a grenade drop and tank fire, with no injuries reported amid ongoing border tensions.
- On Sunday, UNIFIL reported that Israeli military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani said, 'An initial inquiry suggests that UNIFIL forces stationed nearby deliberately fired at the drone and downed it,' near Kfar Kila. The drone's activity did not pose a threat to UNIFIL forces.
- UNIFIL operates alongside the Lebanese army to enforce the ceasefire that ended more than a year of conflict with Hezbollah, despite Israel keeping troops in five border points and intensifying strikes in recent weeks.
- UNIFIL said peacekeepers applied countermeasures to neutralise a drone, while Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani wrote, `UNIFIL forces fired at the drone.`
- On Monday, the United Nations and France condemned Israeli fire near UN peacekeepers, and UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said UNIFIL has protested to the IDF, calling the actions 'very, very dangerous'.
- Growing fears of renewed conflict stem from Israel's intensified strikes in recent weeks and retained deployments at five border points, while Lebanon under U.S. pressure has begun disarming Hezbollah.
