The United Nations (UN) peacekeeping mission in Lebanon has said that an Israeli army bulldozer demolished an observation tower and the perimeter fence of a UN position earlier on Sunday in Marwahin, in the southern part of the country, the UN informed.

A press statement issued by the aforesaid mission, formally known as the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), said Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) “deliberately demolished” the watchtower and the fence surrounding the Marwahin site.

“Yet again, we remind the IDF and all actors of their obligations to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property and to respect the inviolability of UN premises at all times,” UNIFIL stated, in particular.
