UNIFIL

European and Arab leaders are meeting in Paris to discuss what could replace UNIFIL in southern Lebanon. Proposals include a new multinational mission or an EU-led force supporting the Lebanese army.

Tomorrow, the UN Security Council will discuss the situation in Lebanon and the future of UNIFIL, whose forces are set to leave southern Lebanon at the end of the year. UN Secretary-General António Guterres: "Efforts are currently underway to establish a new international force."

The IDF said a U.N. staff member was killed and two others were wounded after Hezbollah fired mortars at a UNIFIL position in southern Lebanon.

An IDF spokesperson says an operational and intelligence review confirms a Hezbollah cell opened fire on a UNIFIL team clearing unexploded ordnance in Ghandourieh, southern Lebanon. One French peacekeeper was killed and three others wounded; Hezbollah denies involvement as Lebanese fears rise and UNIFIL warns the attack could be a war crime.
