Lebanese Parliament Speaker and Hezbollah ally Nabih Berri has condemned a deadly attack on French UN peacekeepers, which Paris accused the group of committing, AFP reports.
In a statement shared by his office, Berri “condemned the attack on a patrol belonging to the French contingent serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) in southern Lebanon”.
The speaker “praised the sacrifices made by Unifil forces over the decades, particularly the French contingent”, and contacted Unifil Force Commander General Diodato Abagnara to offer his condolences.
