Very serious that Israel has fired at Unifil – Latest news – news



Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide (Ap) says that it is very serious that the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has been fired upon by Israeli forces. – Unifil has an important role in monitoring the situation and being a neutral actor that works to reduce conflict and helps to prevent the situation from getting out of control, he says to news. He adds: The UN’s positions and infrastructure are well known and clearly marked. It is therefore highly objectionable that Israeli forces have now fired at several of Unifil’s positions. – I come with an urgent call to all parties to respect humanitarian law and protect civilians, he concludes.
