After attacking UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, Israel tells them to move out of 'harm's way'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the UN chief on Sunday to urgently relocate UN peacekeepers stationed in southern Lebanon to ensure their safety.

The comments came after at least five UN peacekeepers had been wounded in recent days following Israeli attacks on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon.

"Mr secretary general, get the Unifil forces out of harm's way. It should be done right now, immediately," Netanyahu said in a video statement released by his office.
