Rome Calls in Israeli Envoy After UN Peacekeeper Vehicle Hit in Lebanon
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani stated on social media that he had "just instructed the Israeli ambassador to Italy to be summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to clarify what happened today in Lebanon," emphasizing that "the Italian military will remain untouched."
Earlier, Tajani informed parliament that an Italian UNIFIL convoy had been hit amid escalating hostilities.
"Israeli warning shots damaged one of our vehicles; fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the convoy had to return," he said, noting that the convoy had been transporting personnel to Beirut for repatriation.
Tajani also cautioned about intensifying Israeli operations, remarking that there had been “the most violent Israeli bombing since the resumption of the war, with 150 aircraft reportedly engaged across Lebanon.”
