(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) BEIRUT, Sept 19 (KUNA) -- The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) warned on Friday that Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon overnight pose a direct threat to the 'fragile stability' achieved last November.
In a statement, UNIFIL said the strikes were a blatant violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and undermine civilians' confidence in a peaceful solution.
It added that peacekeepers at two sites were forced to relocate for safety, while the attacks dangerously endangered Lebanese soldiers, UN personnel and civilians.
UNIFIL urged Israel to halt further strikes and fully withdraw from Lebanese territory, stressing that all parties must avoid violations or actions that risk escalation.
It also called for full adherence to Resolution 1701 and the cessation of hostilities agreement, warning that continued escalation threatens the progress made toward stability.
Southern Lebanon witnessed multiple Israeli air raids Thursday night on several villages, in violation of the ceasefire agreement that came into effect last November.(end)
