Two Sri Lankan soldiers stationed with the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon were injured following an Israeli airstrike on a nearby village, Sri Lanka's Military Spokesperson confirmed. The incident occurred when Israeli tanks fired at a UNIFIL observation tower in Naqoura, Southern Lebanon yesterday as reported by Lebanese News Agencies on Today (Friday), with the soldiers sustaining minor injuries from tank shell fragments.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the attack, calling it a violation of international humanitarian law, while European Council President Charles Michel deemed it "unacceptable" and urged all parties to respect international law.
