BEIRUT: The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) said on Saturday (April 4) that it will file a formal protest after Israeli soldiers destroyed surveillance cameras installed at its headquarters in Naqoura, Xinhua reported.
Unifil spokesperson Candice Ardell said in a statement that Israeli troops had, since Friday (April 3), destroyed all cameras facing the Menghi road at the mission's general headquarters in Naqoura.
The cameras were positioned solely to monitor the Unifil compound's immediate area, ensuring the security of its peacekeepers, Ardell said.
Ardell said Unifil had conveyed its serious concern to the Israeli army and would submit a formal protest.
The incident comes amid broader regional hostilities involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, as well as repeated recent incidents affecting Unifil positions in southern Lebanon.
Bernama has reported three Indonesian soldiers were killed in two separate attacks on March 29 and 30 while serving under the Unifil. - Bernama-Xinhua
