The UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon (Unifil) has expressed “heartfelt condolences” to the relatives of the Lebanese army members who were killed today in Israel’s attack in the Nabatieh area, Al Jazeera reports.

“Such attacks in Lebanese territory constitute gross violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and Security Council Resolution 1701,” it says in a post on X.

That UN resolution ended a war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006. It also formed the basis of a November 2024 truce between the two sides.
