TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The UN Security Council on Wednesday condemned the Israeli attack on the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in late March, which resulted in the deaths of three Indonesian peacekeepers.
"The members of the Security Council expressed their condemnation over the incidents that led to the deaths of three Indonesian peacekeepers from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)," the council said in a statement as reported by Anadolu.
The council indicated that five other Indonesian soldiers were injured, two of them critically, in the attack. The council also highlighted a series of incidents affecting "UNIFIL positions and injured UNIFIL peacekeepers against the backdrop of ongoing hostilities along the Blue Line."
"They wished a speedy and full recovery to those who were injured. They paid tribute to the dedication and service of all United Nations peacekeepers who risk their lives in the cause of international peace and security and expressed their deep appreciation to UNIFIL’s troop-contributing countries," the statement added.
The council reaffirmed its full support for UNIFIL and called on all parties to ensure the safety and security of personnel, facilities, and freedom of movement in accordance with international law, including refraining from actions that could endanger peacekeepers.
Furthermore, the council emphasized that peacekeepers should not be targeted and urged the UN to investigate the incident through UNIFIL while continuing to provide information to the contributing countries, in line with relevant Security Council resolutions.
The statement also called for the full implementation of Resolution 1701 and reaffirmed strong support for the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and unity of Lebanon.
