United Nations peacekeepers (UNIFIL) in Lebanon's war-ravaged south warned on Sunday that Israel's operations near one of their positions were dangerous
United Nations peacekeepers in Lebanon’s war-ravaged south warned on Sunday that Israel’s operations near one of their positions were dangerous and compromised their safety.
“This is an extremely dangerous development. It is unacceptable to compromise the safety of UN peacekeepers carrying out their Security Council-mandated tasks,” it added. Israel’s military said on Tuesday that troops had begun “targeted” ground raids in south Lebanon against the Hezbollah movement. On Friday, the Iran-backed group said it launched a “big rocket salvo” at Israeli forces in the Maroun al-Ras plain after detonating several explosive devices on advancing troops.
