EU condemns Israeli attack on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, calls for respect of ceasefire
The European Union on Monday condemned Israel's latest attack on a UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, urging all parties to respect the ceasefire and calling on Israel to withdraw from Lebanese territory.
In a statement, the EU said the Israeli strike on Oct. 26 targeted a detachment of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), marking "the latest in a series of similar incidents in recent weeks."
"The safety and security of UN personnel and premises must be ensured in accordance with international law and UN Security Council Resolution 1701," the bloc said.
