Amidst the ongoing backlashes against Israel as it bans UN’s relief and works agency for Palestine (UNRWA), another sensational information came out on Thursday.

A spokesperson for UN’s interim force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said the 30 incidents had resulted in property damage or injury to peacekeepers and included 20 from Israeli fire or action.

Andrea Tenenti clarified Israeli involvement saying, seven of the Israeli actions were “clearly deliberate”.

“For about a dozen other incidents, the origin of the fire could not be determined,” he furthered.

“What has been very concerning are incidents where peacekeepers performing their monitoring tasks, as well as our cameras, lighting and entire watchtowers, have been deliberately targeted by the [Israeli army],” Tenenti told a news conference.

“To be clear, the actions of both the [Israeli army] and Hezbollah are putting peacekeepers in danger,” he added.

The UN peacekeeping force has been deployed in Lebanon since Israel invaded the country in 1978.
