NNA – The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) issued the following statement on Thursday: ldquo;Last night, a peacekeeper was hurt after a patrol was attacked by a group of young men in Taybeh, south Lebanon.
A vehicle was also damaged.
Attacks on men and women serving the cause of peace are not only condemnable, but they are violations of Resolution 1701 and Lebanese law.
Peacekeepersrsquo; freedom of movement is vital as we work to restore security and stability along the Blue Line.
We call on the Lebanese authorities to undertake a full and swift investigation, and for all perpetrators to be brought to justice.
Our peacekeepers remain on task, and we will continue our essential monitoring and de-escalation work.rdquo;
