Israel’s UN envoy: Hezbollah to blame for killing of 3 UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleU.N. Ambassador Danny Danon says Israel now blames Hezbollah for all three of the recent peacekeeper deaths in southern Lebanon, citing explosive devices Monday near Bani Ayan and the shelling of a UN peacekeeper position Saturday.
He provides no evidence, and a UN spokesman says the investigation is ongoing. The three Indonesian peacekeepers were killed as Israel and Hezbollah have been engaged in fighting.
Late on Tuesday, Israel’s military said its troops were not present in the southern Lebanon area where an explosion killed two UNIFIL peacekeepers on Monday. It also said no explosive device had been placed in the area by Israeli soldiers.
