An Israeli drone dropped an explosive device near a position belonging to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in the southern Lebanese town of Kfarkela, wounding one peacekeeper.
In a statement issued on Sunday, UNIFIL said the attack, which occurred late Saturday, involved the dropping of an explosive device near peacekeepers — the second such incident this month targeting UN personnel with ordnance launched by the Israeli army.
UNIFIL added that its peacekeepers had earlier observed two drones flying over the area shortly before the explosion took place.
The attack represents a serious breach of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and shows a troubling disregard for the safety of UN personnel performing their mandated duties.
UNIFIL renewed its call on Israel to cease all attacks on or near peacekeepers who are working to sustain the stability commitments endorsed by both Israel and Lebanon.
