Pakistan has long contributed troops to UN peacekeeping operations, including missions in Lebanon, where it has maintained a presence under the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
On Monday, the UN said that peacekeepers in Lebanon reported extensive Israeli military activity in southern Lebanon and repeated violations of Lebanese airspace despite a ceasefire announced last week.
According to UNIFIL, peacekeepers recorded 201 violations of Lebanese airspace by the Israeli forces, including helicopters and fighter aircraft, totalling nearly 288 hours of overflight time.
The mission also documented more than 2,100 firing incidents originating from Israeli positions, including from south of the Blue Line and from within UNIFIL’s area of operations, UN spokesperson Farhan Haq said.
