UN Lebanon commander injured in convoy attack near Beirut airport

ai generated text

A UN convoy carrying peacekeepers to Beirut airport was attacked by protesters, reportedly blocking the road in response to the Lebanese government's decision to bar two Iranian planes from landing. The protesters, who were dispersed by the Lebanese army, set fire to a car near Beirut, injuring a UN commander. The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has condemned the attack, describing it as "outrageous."

  1. UN Interim Force in Lebanon
    1. We are shocked by this outrageous attack on peacekeepers who have been serving to restore security and stability to south Lebanon during a difficult time.
    2. Attacks on peacekeepers are flagrant violations of international law and may amount to war crimes. We demand a full and immediate investigation by Lebanese authorities and for all perpetrators to be brought to justice.
