I strongly condemn Sunday’s incident during which an Indonesian peacekeeper of @UNIFIL_ was killed amidst hostilities between Israel & Hizbullah. Another Indonesian peacekeeper was seriously injured in the same incident.
My deepest condolences to the family, friends & colleagues of the peacekeeper who died & to Indonesia. I wish a full & fast recovery to the injured peacekeeper.
This is just one of a number of recent incidents that have jeopardized the safety & security of peacekeepers.
I call on all to uphold their obligations under international law & to ensure the safety & security of @UN personnel & property at all times.
