Lebanon: UNIFIL concerned by attacks on Lebanese Armed Forces
25 November 2024
[Beirut, Lebanon] – The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has expressed concern over a series of attacks on the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in recent weeks.
In a statement released on Friday, UNIFIL said it was “deeply concerned” by the attacks, which have resulted in the deaths of several LAF personnel and injuries to others.
“These attacks are a clear violation of Security Council resolution 1701 and a threat to the stability of Lebanon,” UNIFIL said.
The statement called on all parties to respect the authority of the LAF and to refrain from any action that could undermine its ability to carry out its duties.
“UNIFIL remains committed to supporting the LAF in its efforts to maintain security and stability in Lebanon,” the statement said.
The attacks on the LAF have come at a time of heightened tensions in Lebanon. The country is facing a severe economic crisis, and there have been growing calls for political reforms.
The LAF has been playing a key role in maintaining security during this difficult period. However, the attacks on its personnel have raised concerns that the force could be stretched too thin.
UNIFIL has been deployed in Lebanon since 1978. Its mandate is to monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, and to assist the LAF in maintaining security in the area.
In recent years, UNIFIL has also been playing a role in supporting the LAF in its fight against terrorism.
