UNIFIL denies accusations of passing information to Hezbollah, but says it has launched an investigation

“The mission remains completely neutral as it carries out its responsibilities in southern Lebanon. We support local communities and share information when necessary, but do so in full accordance with our mandate,” UNIFIL spokeswoman Candice Ardell said.

At the same time, she announced the beginning of an investigation. The official noted that the presence of peacekeepers may cause dissatisfaction among different parties, but this is part of the mission they perform, writes Middle East Monitor.

Let us add that the official UNIFIL document, which fell into the hands of the IDF, calls Israel an “enemy,” the Galei IDF radio station reported. After the Israeli side demanded clarification, the Blue Helmets apologized, saying that they had copied the wording of the Lebanese army.
