UN warns about Israeli airstrikes near Lebanon peacekeepers

The UN condemned Israel for airstrikes in southern Lebanon, labeling them as violations of Security Council Resolution 1701, which mandates a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. UNIFIL peacekeepers reported the attacks amid ongoing Lebanese military efforts against unauthorized weapons. Additionally, a recent incident involving gunfire at a UN vehicle highlighted the dangers faced by peacekeepers. Since a ceasefire in November 2024, over 1,000 Israeli attacks have resulted in significant casualties, with Israel maintaining a military presence in southern Lebanon contrary to the ceasefire terms.
