United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has strongly condemned an Israeli attack in southern Lebanon that resulted in the injury of two Indonesian peacekeepers from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). The incident occurred when an Israeli tank fired on a watchtower at the UNIFIL headquarters in Naqoura on Thursday, injuring two personnel. UNIFIL operates with approximately 10,000 peacekeepers stationed in southern Lebanon to maintain stability in the region.
In addition to the UN's condemnation, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has also strongly denounced Israel's actions against the UN peacekeepers. This response underscores the international community's concern over the escalating tensions and the safety of peacekeeping missions in the Middle East.
