UNIFIL says peacekeeper killed in South Lebanon

A UNIFIL peacekeeper died early Thursday morning from critical injuries sustained when mortar shells struck his position near Marjayoun, southeastern Lebanon, UNIFIL said in a statement.

"Two other peacekeepers, who also sustained injuries, are being treated at a medical facility in the UNIFIL base," the statement read. "Soon after the incident that happened late last night, the critically injured peacekeeper was flown to a hospital in Beirut, where he succumbed to his wounds."

"We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of the peacekeeper who lost his life in the service of peace. Our thoughts also go out to the full and speedy recovery of the injured peacekeepers."

UNIFIL has launched an investigation to ascertain the exact circumstances that led to this tragic incident.

UNIFIL has detected an increasingly high number of trajectories and impacts in South Lebanon, saying, "The violence must end."
