During an attack by protesters affiliated with Hezbollah, Major-General Chok Bahadur Dhakal, the deputy commander of UNIFIL, was injured when his convoy was halted and a UN vehicle was set ablaze. This assault occurred shortly before he was set to return to Nepal after completing his peacekeeping mission. UNIFIL addressed the incident as a serious breach of international law, with the Lebanese army vowing to capture and prosecute those responsible. The incident stems from tensions related to Iranian airlines and Israeli allegations of smuggling funds to Hezbollah.
The UNIFIL convoy was attacked while transporting its deputy commander, Major-General Chok Bahadur Dhakal, to the airport after his peacekeeping mission in Lebanon.
UNIFIL condemned the attack, labeling it a flagrant violation of international law, and remarked on the need for accountability regarding the assailants.
