India Condemns Attacks on UN Peacekeepers in Lebanon

India on Thursday condemned attacks on UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon and called for accountability, following an incident that killed three Indonesian personnel during Israeli assaults against Hezbollah positions last month. 

At a weekly briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “We condemn the recent attacks on UN Peacekeepers deployed in UNIFIL, and pay



our homage to the fallen Blue Helmets. 

We urge all parties to ensure the inviolability of the UN mission and the safety and security of the Peacekeepers. 

As one of the largest and longest serving contributors to Peacekeeping, and in consonance with UNSC resolution 2589, we seek accountability for crimes against peacekeepers.”
