UN peacekeeper was killed in an attack in Southern Libanon, according to the UN. It notes that a projectile exploded near one of the peacekeeping force posts in the vicinity of Adshit al-Qusayr in southern Lebanon. Another peacekeeper was seriously injured in the incident. The UN peacekeeping force says it is not yet clear who fired the projectile; an investigation is currently underway.

What’s the point of continuing the UNIFIL mandate when it’s painfully clear that no one’s respecting the old ceasefire anymore?
I would support sending UN observers in other capacities, but maintaining peacekeeping troops is just contributing to the shenanigans at this point.
