UN peacekeeping lodge protest after Israeli troops destroy surveillance cameras

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said that it will file a formal protest after Israeli soldiers destroyed surveillance cameras installed at its headquarters in Naqoura.



UNIFIL spokesperson Candice Ardell said in a statement that Israeli troops had, since Friday, 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 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.
