Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has denied any connection with this morning’s attack on United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon.
– “We deny any connection to us with the incident that occurred with UNIFIL forces in the Ghandouriyeh area in Bint Jbeil,” said the group in a statement. “We call for exercising caution in issuing judgements regarding the incident pending the investigations of the Lebanese Army.”
– UNIFIL, the UN’s peacekeeping force in Lebanon, condemned what it described as a “deliberate attack on peacekeepers” who had been clearing explosive ordnance. French President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday that a French soldier was killed and three others were left injured in the attack.
