Israel's ambassador to the United Nations has expressed concern over the presence of UNIFIL peacekeepers in southern Lebanon amid ongoing clashes between the Israeli military and Hezbollah militants. The ambassador, Danny Danon, criticized the UN for not relocating UNIFIL troops away from areas where Hezbollah fighters are believed to be operating.
Danon accused Hezbollah of using UNIFIL outposts to hide and launch attacks, calling for the peacekeepers to move at least five kilometers north of the border to ensure their safety and avoid being caught in the crossfire. He emphasized that Israel is actively engaging in discussions with UN officials to address this issue.
