UN chief condemns killing of peacekeeper in Lebanon

UN Secretary-General António Guterres has issued a strong condemnation of the killing of a United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) soldier. This marks the third incident in recent weeks where personnel from the peacekeeping force have been killed in Lebanon. Guterres did not specify the perpetrator in his statement, though the source message notes he failed to mention Hezbollah. The attack underscores the deteriorating security situation in southern Lebanon amid ongoing hostilities.
