Guterres Denounces Deadly Assault on Peacekeepers in Lebanon
(MENAFN) UN Secretary-General António Guterres has strongly condemned an attack on the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) that killed a French peacekeeper and injured three others.
“I strongly condemn Saturday’s attack on @UNIFIL_ during which one French peacekeeper was killed & another three were injured,” Guterres wrote on the US social media platform X.
He extended his condolences to the victim’s family, friends, and colleagues, and wished those injured a “full and fast recovery.”
Guterres also noted that this is the third deadly incident involving UN peacekeepers in Lebanon in recent weeks, raising concerns over their safety in the region.
“These attacks must stop,” he said, urging all parties to respect the cessation of hostilities and adhere to existing ceasefire arrangements.
French President Emmanuel Macron also confirmed that one French soldier was killed and three others were wounded in the attack targeting UNIFIL personnel.
“Sergeant Major Florian Montorio of the 17th Parachute Engineer Regiment in Montauban was killed this morning in southern Lebanon during an attack against UNIFIL,” Macron wrote on X.
“Everything suggests that Hezbollah is responsible for this attack,” he added.
