Serbian Unifil peacekeeper killed in mortar attack on base in southern Lebanon

A Serbian UN peacekeeper was killed in a mortar attack on a base in southern Lebanon, bringing the total number of UN peacekeepers killed since hostilities began on March 2 to seven. The attack occurred near Marjayoun and coincided with ongoing cross-border violence between Israel and Hezbollah. The UN Secretary-General condemned the attack, emphasizing the need for accountability. The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) stated that such attacks violate international humanitarian law and Security Council Resolution 1701. Meanwhile, a US-brokered agreement between Lebanon and Israel aims to de-escalate tensions but has sparked concerns over potential restrictions on Lebanon's pursuit of international accountability for Israeli actions. Over 4,278 civilians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon since March 2, including many children and healthcare workers.
