European Commission Condemns Attack on UNIFIL Forces in Lebanon


Spokesperson for external affairs at the Peter Stano said that the Israeli occupation’s attacks on the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were unacceptable.

He added during a press conference in Brussels that any deliberate attack on peacekeeping forces constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law and relevant Security Council resolutions.

Stano said that the issue was very high on the European Commission’s agenda, and that it will definitely be discussed by the EU Foreign Ministers at the Foreign Affairs Council meeting next Monday.

UNIFIL had reported that its soldiers were injured due to repeated Israeli bombardments on its headquarters and nearby sites in southern Lebanon amid escalating tensions along the Blue Line recently.
