15 UN peacekeepers injured in Israeli forces attack the UNIFIL compound in Lebanon

The UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, UNIFIL, has accused Israeli Defense Forces of destroying their main gate and causing mild injuries to at least 15 soldiers after Israeli troops “forcibly entered” their position.

The latest incident comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to “immediately” remove UN peacekeepers from combat zones in southern Lebanon.
