Germany condemns Israel's attack on UN base in Lebanon

Germany has joined other western nations in condemning Israeli army actions against UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, demanding "an urgent explanation" from Tel Aviv.

Since the start of Israel's ground campaign against Hezbollah, five peacekeepers have been injured, and Germany has labelled the attacks on UN personnel and base infiltrations as "completely unacceptable".

The Unifil mission involves over 10,000 troops from over 50 countries, including Germany.
