Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani condemned the incident and called recent attacks on peacekeepers "unacceptable." He emphasized the importance of ensuring better protection for Italian soldiers involved in peacekeeping operations, highlighting that they are not combatants.
Tajani stated that he spoke with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar to clarify the recent incident involving an artillery shell that struck a UNIFIL base and called for a thorough investigation to determine accountability.
The 155mm artillery shell that struck the base in southern Lebanon without detonating is believed to have been an accident, likely intended for another target further north, revealing the risks of escalating tensions in the region.
In the discussion, Tajani expressed his concerns regarding potential escalation in the region, urging for a peaceful resolution in Gaza, which includes a cessation of violence and the release of hostages.
