Turkey accuses Israel of pursuing 'occupation policy' in Lebanon

Turkey has accused Israel of pursuing a policy of occupation in Lebanon, noting its attack on a Unifil base in the country's south. 

“Israel’s regular attacks on Unifil are proof that the Netanyahu government is pursuing an occupation policy toward Lebanon and is ready to use weapons under any circumstances,”a statement by Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said. 

“Each member of the UN Security Council is obliged to prevent Israeli attacks against the UN forces they have personally mandated,” the ministry added.
