WASHINGTON/NEW YORK: The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) urges all parties to ensure the safety and security of UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported on Monday (Oct 15).
Amid ongoing hostilities along the Blue Line, the de facto border between Israel and Lebanon, "the members of the UNSC expressed their strong concerns after several UN Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) positions came under fire in recent days," said Pascale Baeriswyl, Switzerland’s UN ambassador, following a meeting on Lebanon.
