US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin informed his Israeli counterpart, Yoav Galant, about the need to ensure the safety of UNIFIL and the Lebanese army, according to US media reports.

Austin stressed the need to resort to diplomatic solutions to end the war in Lebanon, pointing out to the importance to address the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

The United Nations stressed that its peacekeeping forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and its headquarters should never be a target, stressing that such attacks may constitute a war crime.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, said in statements reported by the American Al-Hurra channel that UNIFIL forces will remain in all their locations.
