UN peacekeepers in Lebanon allege surge in Israeli violence toward them
Incidents involving Israeli forces targeting UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon surged from 1 to 27 in December 2025, raising concerns about the mission’s continuation.
- This week, UNIFIL reported a surge in Israeli military attacks on more than 7,500 peacekeepers, with incidents rising from 1 in January to 27 in December.

- This week, UNIFIL recorded a drone dropping a stun grenade near a patrol, an Israeli tank firing small-caliber bullets on Jan. 16, and herbicide spraying on Sunday halting patrols over nine hours.
