India, alongside 40 other nations, condemned the recent attacks on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon. In a joint statement, the countries emphasized the importance of safety and security for UNIFIL personnel amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. At least five peacekeepers have been injured during Israel’s military campaign. Lebanon’s health ministry reported 15 deaths from Israeli airstrikes, intensifying fears of a broader conflict in West Asia. The signatories reaffirmed their support for UNIFIL's mission, calling for peace and respect for UN personnel. UNIFIL's mission monitors the ceasefire under the 2006 UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
