I strongly condemn Sunday’s incident during which an Indonesian peacekeeper of @UNIFIL_ was killed amidst hostilities between Israel & Hizbullah. Another Indonesian peacekeeper was seriously injured in the same incident. Israel’s military later ⁠acknowledged its tank fire had hit ⁠a UN position ​in southern Lebanon that day, wounding the Ghanaian peacekeepers.
