Israeli tanks attacked the area where Indian soldiers are deployed, big reaction from Modi government

India has expressed concern over the security of UN peacekeepers deployed in South Lebanon. They came under fire from Israeli forces on Hezbollah positions in the area. Notably, 600 Indian troops are part of the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, and are deployed along the 120 km long Blue Line on the Israel-Lebanon border. The Foreign Ministry said that we are concerned about the deteriorating security situation on the Blue Line. We are monitoring the situation closely. Everyone should respect the violence on the UN campus and take appropriate steps. Ensure the safety of UN peacekeepers and the sanctity of their mandate.

The Ministry of External Affairs said in its statement that the sanctity of UN premises should be respected by all and appropriate measures should be taken to ensure the safety of UN peacekeepers and the sanctity of their workplace. The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, said in a statement on October 10 that the recent increase in tensions along the Blue Line is causing widespread destruction in towns and villages in southern Lebanon. “In the past days, we have seen incursions by Israel into Nakoura and other areas in Lebanon,” the statement alleged. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops have clashed with elements of Hezbollah in Lebanon.

UNIFIL spokesperson said, he is an Indonesian citizen. Indonesia is also a major contributor of troops to UNIFIL. There has also been a reaction from America on the whole matter. The White House said that we are very concerned. We know that Israel is conducting targeted operations along the Blue Line to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure. It is also important that he does not threaten the safety of UN peacekeepers.
