UN peacekeeping force sounds alarm over Israel's 'continuous' attacks on south Lebanon despite ceasefire

New Indian Express  

The United Nations' peacekeeping force in Lebanon expressed concern on Thursday at the "continuing" damage done by Israeli forces in the country's south despite a ceasefire in the war with Hezbollah. The truce went into effect on November 27, about two months after Israel stepped up its bombing campaign and later sent troops into Lebanon following nearly a year of exchanges of cross-border fire initiated by Hezbollah over the war in Gaza. Under the ceasefire agreement, UNIFIL peacekeepers and the Lebanese army were to redeploy in south Lebanon, near the Israeli border, as Israeli forces withdrew over 60 days. UNIFIL said in a statement on Thursday that "there is concern at continuing destruction by the IDF in residential areas, agricultural land and road networks in south Lebanon".
