The UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has said that its peacekeepers observed an Israeli tank firing at their watchtower near southern Lebanon’s Kfar Kela on Wednesday morning, Reuters has reported.
“Two cameras were destroyed, and the tower was damaged,” said UNIFIL. “Yet again we see direct and apparently deliberate fire on a UNIFIL position.”
The UN force reminded “the Israel Defence Forces and all other actors of their obligations to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property and to respect the inviolability of UN premises at all times.”
On Sunday, the UN peacekeeping force said that the Israeli occupation army had stormed one of its sites in the town of Ramya in southern Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to remove the UN Interim Force from Lebanon to “protect them”.
Last week, UNIFIL revealed that its headquarters in southern Lebanon had been subjected to repeated Israeli shelling, which resulted in the wounding of two of its members, sparking a wave of international condemnation.
