Hello and welcome to the details of UN chief: Attacks on peacekeepers in Lebanon ‘may constitute a war crime’ and now with the details
Nevin Al Sukari - Sana'a - This picture taken on October 13, 2024 during a controlled embed organised by the Israeli military, shows Israeli troops patrolling near a United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon (Unifil) base in the southern Lebanon’s Naqoura region near the border.
NEW YORK, Oct 14 — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres yesterday denounced attacks that have injured several peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, his spokesman said, as Israeli forces move against Hezbollah militants.
“Unifil personnel and its premises must never be targeted,” Stephane Dujarric said, referring to the blue-helmeted international force. “Attacks against peacekeepers are in breach of international law...(and) may constitute a war crime.”
“In a deeply worrying incident that occurred today, the entrance door of a UN position was deliberately breached by IDF armoured vehicles,” he added in a statement.
At least five peacekeepers have been wounded in recent days as Israel targets Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
Unifil, a mission of about 9,500 troops of various nationalities created following Israel’s 1978 invasion of Lebanon, has accused the Israeli military of “deliberately” firing on its positions.
Dujarric urged “all parties, including the IDF, to refrain from any and all actions that put our peacekeepers at risk,” referring to Israel’s army.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Guterres yesterday to move peacekeepers deployed in south Lebanon out of “harm’s way”, saying Hezbollah was using them as “human shields”.
