Targeting of UN peacekeeping forces in Lebanon is 'absolutely unacceptable,' Italian prime minister says
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited Lebanon Friday, calling the targeting of United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon -- peacekeeping forces -- "absolutely unacceptable."
"We are committed to discussing the issue of the displaced in Lebanon at a European level,” Meloni sad.
Meloni called for a 21-day cease-fire after meeting with Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati.
Fighting continued in Lebanon on Friday with the Israel Defense Forces issuing more evacuation orders in southern Lebanon and calling up an "additional reserve brigade" for "operational missions" in northern Israel.
There were 87 airstrikes over the past 24 hours, according to the Lebanese prime minister's office said. Six people were killed and 69 others were wounded in the strikes. Over 2,400 people have been killed and over 11,300 were wounded since Israel began its increased attacks on Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Ministry Public of Health.
