JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday urged United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to order the departure of UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) peacekeepers from the fighting zones in Lebanon.

Several “peacekeepers” were injured last week in southern Lebanon in incidents involving the Israeli army, leading Paris to summon the Israeli ambassador to France.
