Lebanon: UNIFIL concerned by attacks on Lebanese Armed Forces
2024-11-25 12:00
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has expressed concern over the recent attacks on the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in the south of the country.
In a statement released on Thursday, UNIFIL said it was “deeply concerned by the recent incidents of violence in the south of Lebanon, including the attacks on the LAF”.
The statement added that “these attacks are a clear violation of Security Council resolution 1701 and a threat to the stability of Lebanon”.
UNIFIL called on “all parties to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon” and to “refrain from any action that could further destabilize the country”.
The statement comes after a series of attacks on the LAF in recent weeks. On November 23, a roadside bomb exploded near a LAF patrol in the southern town of Aitaroun, killing one soldier and injuring several others.
On November 25, a group of gunmen attacked a LAF checkpoint in the southern town of Marjayoun, killing two soldiers and injuring several others.
The attacks have been condemned by the Lebanese government and the international community. The United States has called on “all parties to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon” and to “refrain from any action that could further destabilize the country”.
The United Nations has also called on “all parties to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon” and to “refrain from any action that could further destabilize the country”.
The attacks on the LAF are a serious threat to the stability of Lebanon. The country is already facing a number of challenges, including a political crisis, an economic crisis, and a refugee crisis. The attacks on the LAF could further destabilize the country and make it more difficult to address these challenges.
UNIFIL is a peacekeeping force that was established in 1978 to monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. The force has been deployed in Lebanon since 1978 and has played a key role in maintaining peace and stability in the country.
The attacks on the LAF are a reminder of the challenges that UNIFIL faces in Lebanon. The force is often targeted by armed groups that are opposed to the presence of foreign troops in Lebanon. The attacks on the LAF also highlight the need for a political solution to the conflict in Lebanon. The country has been plagued by conflict for decades and the only way to achieve lasting peace is through a political settlement.
