UNIFIL 'seriously concerned' by deadly strikes on Lebanon army

U.N. peacekeepers in south Lebanon Monday expressed worry over deadly strikes on Lebanese soldiers, which Beirut blames on Israel, despite the army staying away from fighting between Hezbollah and Israel.

"UNIFIL is seriously concerned by numerous strikes on the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) inside the Lebanese territories," the peacekeepers said in a statement. The army has reported 19 members killed while on active duty.
