Iran Press/West Asia: The report outlines at least a dozen attacks on UN troops, detailing how Israeli forces forcibly entered a clearly marked UN base and caused significant damage to several facilities along the southern Lebanese border.
The incidents have drawn international condemnation, with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres labeling the targeting of UNIFIL as "intolerable" and a violation of international law. The report highlights that this pattern of aggression is not new; Israeli forces have been accused of targeting UN workers and international organizations in Gaza for over a year.
In one notable incident on October 13, two Israeli tanks reportedly breached the gates of a UN base in Ramya, leaving behind peacekeepers who later exhibited symptoms consistent with exposure to white phosphorus, including skin irritation and gastrointestinal distress5. This follows a series of assaults on UN positions, raising serious concerns about the safety of peacekeeping operations in the region.
The situation remains tense as Israel continues its military operations against Hezbollah, further complicating the already volatile dynamics in southern Lebanon.
