Forty nations that contribute to the peacekeeping force said that they ‘strongly condemn recent attacks’ by Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday called on the UN chief to move UN peacekeepers deployed in southern Lebanon out of “harm’s way”.
Netanyahu’s appeal to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres comes a day after the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, refused to withdraw from the border area despite five of its members being wounded in Israeli fire in recent days.
