The UN peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon, known as Unifil, says it is “deeply concerned” by Israel’s massive bombardment of the region, according to Al Jazeera.

“Ongoing conflict is causing deaths, injuries, and widespread destruction,” it says in a statement. “The situation is further undermining stability in the area.”

Several peacekeepers have been killed in southern Lebanon since Israel expanded its ground invasion.
