United Nations peacekeepers said rock-throwing individuals confronted them during a patrol on Tuesday in south Lebanon, calling attacks on their troops “unacceptable.”

Axar.az, citing Al-Arabiya, informs that no injuries were reported, according to the UNIFIL statement.

In a statement, UNIFIL said peacekeepers conducting “a planned patrol” coordinated with the Lebanese army were “confronted by a group of individuals in civilian clothing in the vicinity of Hallusiyat al-Tahta, in southern Lebanon.”

The situation was defused when the Lebanese army intervened, allowing the peacekeeping force to continue its patrol.

The UN Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL), deployed since 1978 to separate Lebanon and Israel, sits in a five-member committee to supervise the ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah.

STATEMENT:

This morning, UNIFIL peacekeepers conducting a planned patrol coordinated with the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) were confronted by a group of individuals in civilian clothing in the vicinity of Hallusiyat al Tahta, in southern Lebanon.
