Canada says Israeli troops firing on Lebanon peacekeepers is unacceptable

Canada, which has been largely supportive of Israel’s military offensive in Lebanon, says an incident in which Israeli troops fired on UN peacekeepers was “alarming and unacceptable.”

The UNIFIL force said two of its peacekeepers were injured when an Israeli tank fired at a watchtower at the force’s main headquarters in Ras al-Naqoura.

“Canada calls for the protection of peacekeepers and humanitarian workers, and for all parties to comply with international humanitarian law,” the foreign ministry says in a statement posted on social media platform X.
