Netanyahu warns UN peacekeepers in Lebanon to leave immediately

Israel’s prime minister has urged the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon to move away from areas where fighting is taking place “immediately”.

Nearly 10,000 peacekeepers from 50 countries are stationed in Lebanon, alongside around 800 civilian staff.

Since 1978, they have patrolled the area between the Litani River and the UN-recognised boundary between Lebanon and Israel known as the “Blue Line”.

Five peacekeepers have been injured in recent days. On Saturday, Unifil said a soldier had been shot at its headquarters in the city of Naquora – though it did not know the origin of the bullet.
