The EU condemns all attacks on UN missions and expresses particular serious concern about the attacks by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) against UNIFIL in Lebanon, which have injured several peacekeeping forces, emphasizes the EU High Representative Josep Borrell.

In the announcement issued by Josep Borrell on behalf of the EU, it is noted that such attacks on UN peacekeeping forces constitute a serious violation of international law and are completely unacceptable and must stop immediately.

He states that all parties have an obligation to take necessary measures to guarantee the safety, as well as the safety of the UN personnel and property and to respect the inviolability of UN facilities at all times. “We urgently expect explanations and a thorough investigation from the Israeli authorities regarding the attacks on UNIFIL, which plays a fundamental role in the stability of Southern Lebanon,” emphasizes the High Representative.

At the same time, the EU expresses its deep concern about the ongoing rocket launches from Hezbollah toward Israel which must stop and the IDF strikes in densely populated areas of Lebanon, causing great toll to civilians and the displacement of many. “We urge all parties to respect International Humanitarian Law, in all circumstances,” it states.

The EU finally reiterates its call for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon and all parties to commit and work for the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
