UN Security Council Denounces Killing of UN Peacekeeper in Lebanon
The peacekeeper died on June 4 after sustaining critical injuries when mortar shells struck his position, while two other personnel were wounded in the same incident.
Council members called for a swift investigation into the attack through UNIFIL and urged that those responsible be held accountable without delay.
They also noted that since hostilities escalated on March 2, seven UNIFIL peacekeepers have been killed and several others injured while carrying out their duties in southern Lebanon.
Reaffirming support for the mission, the Council urged all parties to ensure the safety and security of UNIFIL personnel and facilities, and to guarantee the freedom of movement required for its operations.
