Unifil slams Israeli ceasefire violations in Lebanon

United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil), called Israeli attacks on Lebanon a “constant and blatant violation of Resolution 1701”.

Major General Diodato Abagnara, the commander of the Unifil told Israeli media that, “the situation is really, really fragile” in Lebanon, and “a simple mistake could create a big escalation”.

“Any kind of direct attack against Unifil troops is unacceptable,” he said, apparently referring to past Israeli strikes on the peacekeepers.

The UN organisation said Israel violated the ceasefire deal with thousands of air and ground attacks inside Lebanon.
