Ten countries push for ceasefire in Lebanon amid Israeli atrocities
The ten countries including Switzerland, Japan, Canada, Colombia, UK and Colombia issued a joint statement to express deep concerns over an escalation of tensions in Lebanon which has so far led to killing of civilians, extensive destruction of the infrastructures and displacement of more than one million civilians, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
 
Signatories condemned blatantly the incident that led to the killing of UN peacekeeping forces (UNIFIL) in southern Lebanon.
 
The statement comes after the deaths of three Indonesian peacekeepers last month. The UN has said preliminary findings from its probe showed one was killed by an Israeli tank projectile and two by an improvised explosive device most likely placed by Hezbollah.
 
"We condemn in the strongest terms actions that have killed UN peacekeepers and significantly increased the risks faced by humanitarian personnel in southern Lebanon," the 10 countries said in their joint statement.
 
The joint statement came in support of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls on the international body to take necessary measures to strengthen the protection of peacekeepers.
