France condemns a rocket strike that hit the headquarters of the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon yesterday, which UNIFIL has said was likely fired by terror group Hezbollah or an affiliate.
“France condemns the rocket fire, likely by Hezbollah, that hit the headquarters of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon UNIFIL in Naqura” in south Lebanon, the foreign ministry says. “Attacks against Blue Helmets constitute grave violations of international law.”
France also “firmly condemned” an Israeli strike in Gaza yesterday that Hamas authorities say collapsed a building, killing dozens. The IDF has said it’s probing the incident, while casting doubt on the reported casualty figure which stands at at least 70. A military official says the target of the strike was a spotter with binoculars.
“France firmly condemns the Israeli strike against a building in Beit Lahiya in north Gaza on October 29 that killed almost 100 people, including women and children,” the foreign ministry claims in a statement.
“France also condemns recent Israeli strikes on hospitals in the north” of the Strip, it adds. “The siege imposed on north Gaza must be ended immediately.”
