❗️On Monday, UN Security council stressed ‘strong concern’ over UNIFIL positions coming under fire in south Lebanon, calling on “all parties” to respect the safety and security of its personnel and premises.

Since the start of Israel’s ground incursions into Lebanon on 1 October, UNIFIL positions have been attacked at least 20 times,injuring at least five troops. UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said “the source of the gunfire has yet to be confirmed by UNIFIL,” although Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah previously made it clear that it would not fire on Israeli forces hiding behind UNIFIL positions.

This comes a day after Benjamin Netanyahu demanded that UNIFIL withdraw from Lebanon. France rejected the demand.
