UNITED NATIONS: The UN Security Council (UNSC) on Wednesday condemned attacks in recent weeks on the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL), calling on all parties to respect the safety of members of that force.
“They urged all parties to take all measures to respect the safety and security of UNIFIL personnel and premises. They recalled that peacekeepers must never be the target of an attack,” the UNSC said in a statement, noting in particular attacks on Oct 29, Nov 7 and Nov 8.
