UNIFIL Statement on Recent Grenade Attack Near Peacekeepers

Beirut: The UNIFIL issued on Sunday the following statement: "Just before noon yesterday, an Israeli drone dropped a grenade that exploded near a UNIFIL position in Kafer Kela. One peacekeeper was lightly injured and received medical assistance. According to National News Agency - Lebanon, before the grenade was dropped, peacekeepers had observed two drones flying near their position. This incident marks the second IDF grenade attack on peacekeepers this month. It is considered a serious violation of resolution 1701 and a concerning disregard for the safety of peacekeepers implementing their mandate from the Security Council. The UNIFIL statement further urged the IDF to cease attacks on or near peacekeepers, who are working to rebuild the stability that both Israel and Lebanon have committed to restore.
