At the same time, UNIFIL sent out a statement that Israeli tanks and soldiers had made their way through the main gate of the UN position in the Lebanese city of Ramyah, close to the border between Israel and Lebanon. Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide condemns the incident. – The forced entry into a UN position is a violation of international law, UNIFIL is in Lebanon with a clear Monday from the UN Security Council, he wrote on X.
