UN Accuses Israel of Violating International Law in Lebanon

UN peacekeepers report deliberate destruction of their property by the Israeli military, escalating tensions in the region.

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) accuses the Israeli military of deliberately destroying its property, calling it a violation of international law.
UNIFIL reports multiple incidents of Israeli forces damaging their bases, including the use of excavators and bulldozers to destroy structures.
Israel denies the accusations, stating that UN troops act as human shields for Hezbollah and has urged UNIFIL to evacuate for safety reasons.
Recent Israeli military actions have resulted in injuries to peacekeepers and the removal of markers along the Blue Line, the demarcation line between Lebanon and Israel.
Despite the ongoing hostilities and pressures, UNIFIL remains committed to its mission in southern Lebanon, monitoring the situation and reporting to the UN Security Council.
