Italy, Britain, France, and Germany tell Israel to stop attacks on UN peacekeepers

Italy, Britain, France, and Germany issued a statement on Monday demanding Israel stop its attacks on the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon (Unifil), calling the actions a violation of international humanitarian law.

The nations emphasised the critical role Unifil plays in maintaining stability in southern Lebanon and called for all parties to ensure the safety of peacekeepers.

Unifil reported multiple attacks from Israeli forces, despite calls for the protection of its personnel, many of whom are European soldiers.
