UNIFIL claims Israel’s ‘deliberate’ destruction of its property breaches int’l law
The United Nations’ observer force in southern Lebanon claims that the Israeli military’s “deliberate and direct destruction” of its property was a “flagrant violation” of international law.
It says that Israeli military excavators and one bulldozer had destroyed part of a fence and concrete structure at a UN peacekeeping position in southern Lebanon on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Lebanon’s health ministry says Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed at least 3,117 people, and wounded 13,888 others since October 2023.
The figures do not differentiate between civilians and combatants from Hezbollah, which began firing rockets at Israel on October 8, 2023.
