Sharjah 24 – AFP: The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) voiced "strong concerns" Monday after incidents in which UN peacekeepers in Lebanon have been injured, as Israel presses its campaign against Hezbollah militants in its northern neighbour.

"Against the backdrop of ongoing hostilities along the Blue Line, the members of the Security Council expressed their strong concerns after several UNIFIL positions came under fire in the past days. Several peacekeepers have been wounded," said the council's rotating presidency, currently Switzerland's UN ambassador Pascale Baeriswyl.
