Indonesia has confirmed two of its UN peacekeepers were injured in Israeli fire in Lebanon, and called the attack a violation of international law, AFP reports.

“In the attack on the tower in Nakura, two personnel were injured, and they were from Indonesia,” Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said in a statement.

She added the two peacekeepers had sustained light injuries and were in hospital for further observation.

“Indonesia strongly condemns the attack,” she said. “Attacking UN personnel and property is a major violation of International Humanitarian Law.”

She called on all parties to ensure respect for UN territory at all times and under all circumstances.
