The incident took place early on Sunday morning (local time), when two IDF Merkava tanks destroyed the main gate and forcibly entered the position, according to the UN Interim Force in Lebanon. About two hours later, after the tanks had left, several rounds were fired nearby, emitting smoke that affected the peacekeepers inside.<\/p>\n<p>These developments followed several security incidents targeting peacekeepers over recent days. According to UNIFIL, five peacekeepers have been injured, UN positions and premises damaged, and critical Mission movements disrupted. \u201cThe Secretary-General reiterates that the safety and security of UN personnel and property must be guaranteed and that the inviolability of UN premises must be respected at all times without qualification,\u201d the UN chief\u2019s Spokesperson said in a statement. Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres also paid tribute to the dedicated personnel of UNIFIL, adding that \u201cpeacekeepers remain in all positions and the UN flag continues to fly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The statement further noted that UNIFIL \u201ccontinuously assesses and reviews\u201d all factors to determine its posture and presence, and that it is taking all possible measures to ensure the protection of its peacekeepers. \u201cUNIFIL\u2019s role and its presence in southern Lebanon is mandated by the UN Security Council,\u201d the statement continued, adding \u201cin this context, UNIFIL is committed to preserving its capacity to support a diplomatic solution based on resolution 1701, which is the only possible way forward.\u201d Established by the Security Council, UNIFIL is tasked with monitoring the cessation of hostilities following the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, confirming the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon, and assisting the Lebanese government in restoring its authority in the area.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary-General emphasized that UNIFIL personnel and its premises must never be targeted. \u201cAttacks against peacekeepers are in breach of international law, including international humanitarian law. They may constitute a war crime,\u201d the statement noted. The Secretary-General further called on all parties, including the IDF, \u201cto refrain from any and all actions\u201d that put UN peacekeepers at risk. He also renewed the call for a cessation of hostilities and the full implementation of Security Council resolution 1701.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/10\/1155666\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/un-chief-calls-for-safety-of-peacekeepers-after-idf-breaches-un-position-in-lebanon\/\">UN chief calls for safety of peacekeepers after IDF breaches UN position in Lebanon<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16489,402,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-134619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-safety-of-peacekeepers","tag-un","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134619\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
