A NEW attack by Israeli forces on UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon received swift and widespread condemnation today.

The Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the attack had targeted a watchtower of a Sri Lankan battalion in Naqoura that is part of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil).

The day before, 22 people were killed and dozens wounded in the deadliest Israeli air strike on central Beirut so far.
