Reference Message Network reported on May 15 that according to a report by Agence France-Presse on May 14, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) protested against the "direct shooting" by the Israeli army at one of its outposts in southern Lebanon on May 14. This is the first such incident since the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
UNIFIL is part of the international committee responsible for monitoring the ceasefire agreement, which ended the two-month open war between the Israeli army and the Lebanese Hezbollah on November 27, 2024.
In a statement, UNIFIL said it was "concerned about the recent aggressive posture of the Israeli army involving UNIFIL personnel and assets near the Blue Line." The Blue Line is the temporary border drawn by the United Nations between Israel and Lebanon.
UNIFIL cited an event that occurred on the 13th, in which "the outpost of UNIFIL south of the village of Chouba was directly shot at."
The force pointed out that "this is the first time that the UNIFIL outpost has been directly attacked since the cessation of hostilities," and mentioned "other violations of peacekeepers by the Israeli army."
It added: "UNIFIL protests such actions and continues to remind all parties involved of their responsibility to ensure the safety of UN personnel and assets." (Translated by Lin Xiaoxuan)
