Israel carried out airstrikes in the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) area of operations, the peacekeeping mission said in a statement released Friday.
The strikes came amid an ongoing operation by the Lebanese Armed Forces aimed at seizing illegal weapons and establishing control over infrastructure in the south of the country, a year after the announcement of a cessation of hostilities.
"We call on the IDF to utilize all available means of communication and coordination mechanisms," the mission noted. "We also warn the Lebanese side against any retaliatory actions that could further exacerbate the situation."
Violation of a key agreement
The mission stressed that Thursday's airstrikes were a "clear violation" of Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah in 2006.
Another incident occurred on Thursday evening: peacekeepers patrolling near the town of Bint Jbeil encountered six men on mopeds. One of them fired three shots at the rear of the Blue Helmets' vehicle. No one was injured in the incident.
"Attacks on peacekeepers are unacceptable and constitute a serious violation of Resolution 1701," the peacekeeping mission said, calling on all parties to comply with their obligations.
UNIFIL continues to monitor the situation in southern Lebanon and support both sides in implementing the peace agreement.
