Indonesian UN peacekeepers are still out in some of the worst affected areas of south Lebanon despite three of their colleagues being killed in two separate attacks over the past few days. ‘We’re just doing our job’, they told us as they moved a few kms from the Israeli border Pix @CunninghamCSky
Cyprus extends its deepest condolences to the family of the fallen peacekeeper of UNIFIL in Lebanon and to the Republic of Indonesia, and wishes swift recovery to those injured.
Attacks against UN personnel constitute grave violations of international law and must cease without delay.
We call for immediate de-escalation and full compliance with UNSCR 1701, and reaffirm our strong support for UNIFIL and its essential mandate.
