no double standards to all of us. any anyone in particular, i say to all facing realities, government seems here to whittle down democracy. it is troubling for you. it's very, very painful here. the story on talk to how does era the full united nations personality in good while out on patrol on so it's in southern 11 on these really all me says it's not responsible the phone. so robin, you're watching all just evan line headquarters in the coming up in the next 30 minutes. these are electronics residential areas across garza. it's not being 5 days since the un security council code for an immediate cease fire palestinians mcclung day as

a legal is riley settled then said i'll keep high type of trays are expanding to a record. right. the cycling that unexpectedly fade into the island nation, madagascar kills 18 people and displaces thousands. welcome to the product i'm. it's just going to $1100.00 gmc and we begin with breaking news coming onto the southern level. but 3 united nations minute trips of us and the lebanese translates, have been injured. the un personnel on a foot patrol in the town of remish when the explosion occurred near that position . so i think it's right in the military has issued a statement and i got a responsibility for the incident. the u. n says it's investigating the best bringing is a to hold a in baby to join us out is a now what we know about the circumstances behind this incident

while the united nations peacekeeping force has released the statement just for a short while ago, we know is that 4 people were injured, 3 military of servers, along with a lebanese translator. they were close to the blue line. that is the border between 11 on an as route. what we understand is that they were information in that statement. there was no mention of their location. now, according to unit fell, there was an explosion close to them because these men were on foot patrols. they were not in their vehicle and according to view. and they are now investigating the origin of the explosion. so united nations, not saying whether this was a drone strike shell, or, or even who was responsible, earlier reports initial reports in lebanese me the claim to israel and said that in one way or another, this was

a direct hit. so we do not know that we do not know who is responsible. we did not know, even if this was an intentional, a strike, whether the you and force was targeted or they were in, in that conflict the area. we have to understand that there have been confrontations between as well as the last for the past 6 months. now, this is not the 1st time do, and peacekeeping troops have, in one way or another, come under fire. in november, there was automatic fire close to their patrols in a border village of idaho, and there were no casualties at the time. you get a feel of condemned the, the incidents which is ralph was blamed for that. incidents, of course, any full view is who are watching, who may not be aware of why the u. n. has a presence in southern lebanon. can just give us a little bit of background as to why a service this presence well those involved in this incident, they belong to the u. n. of server mission,

which has been deployed at 11 on since 1949. uh, they have a presence here in that as well. and they help the un peacekeeping force the unit field, carry out their mandate. now, unit phil has been in southern lebanon since 1978. their mandate changed over the years. the last time their mandate change was in 2006, following the last tour between israel and hezbollah, they were given the task of helping the lebanese army create a t, militarized stone, some 20 kilometers from the border so that there would be no presence of arms and fighters outside the states control of un reports have said that they did not complete their mission. and the very fact that the, you know, there's, there's a lack of political will, if you like, on the part of, of lebanese a sore. so these troops really faced a lot of challenges. they've been criticized by these radios for not being forcible enough for not. so you know, you're forcing has but lots of pull back from the board. or even though they do not

have the mandates to do so, they were deployed under chapter 6, which means they need a cooperation of the parties on the ground in order to carry out their mission. and they've also come under criticism by has the law. some of their contingents have been accused of spying for israel. these troops are not liked in many villages when they venture in some villages alone. um, you know, they face tensions over the local community. so this is a force which finds itself in the middle of a conflict and, and really a very challenging situation to hold up with the lights that force, thanks very much say that is a baby can, will mother to of events for us as the i was progress that's close over to andre. it's an antique specimen for the united nations entering falls in love. i don't know. we're going to feel as we've had jordan's not live from a baby. mister timothy, thanks to joining us here on. i'll just say what i mean. what more can you tell us about this incident involving unit field trips? yes us, after you say no, was the record in the way that this morning, a group of a 3 or jail and which is a military observers and one lebanese,

a language assistance to eh, and where i'd say was we still left lots of days. exactly. the dynamic that they weren't available that they weren't getting else available during that moment and they, and there wasn't an explosion occurred in the and, and they were, they were injured. as we settled in our statements, we are investigating the origins of the, of the, of the explosion. the moments about, of course, uh, where the same for the last 6 months. that's uh these uh, as changes of buyer and the escalation, the reason escalation can really at 3 you're a much wider conflict then it's important for the parties to understand it and to come to a, to a, to do a ceasefire, and to open up for it and people magic and the, and political solution to this uh to these conflicts. i mean these, right? these are denying it categorically a moment,

then assume that if it's not in time who else? yeah, this, this right? as i said, this has happened this morning. it is very important to make sure that we get all the, all the facts, all, all the, for me, mr. to that, to we seem to have lost the connection that with august. but i think we got the general gist of what the human representative not to say that let's go say if it's a wrong code is occupied each to reach the most that monitoring events. uh im run. this comes obviously after the is really defense minister said that they would expand their attacks on has blogs or related to the war on garza. i mean, have these really said anything more about this developing incident in the knowles of israel? certainly in southern level these ready, i mean you have issued a very swift and very strong to know they've said country to repulse. we did not have a unit the vehicle in a mesh. that's all the statement says, but it is a strong denial. now we'll have to wait and say, well,

you photos of response to that is unit for that. now the ones that are actually going to be handling this investigational though it was a different you an agency that was involved in this incident, but this one comes off the back of it. you'll have guidelines being very clear, it visited the northern command that's on the, he's ready side of that. lebanese border where he told his troops, they were going to go off that has bullock, whether it was a baby, whether it was in damascus, they were going to go on the offensive. now that's something that will be concerning to as well as beloved did issue a statement saying that they were ready for any event relative. but hezbollah voice has been very clear, they will move back possible autonomy river, which is where these ladies want them to move factories about 40 kilometers within lebanese territory. if there is a permanent ceasefire in garza as long as that doesn't happen, then these tensions will be, will continue to take place along that boat at some fault. they have been contained

along the border areas. some parts of the obviously been disputed plus the language coming from these ratings is certainly very strong. and if they do start hitting has bullied has been a root for example, in damascus that it has the has to react. i remember these readings, i've actually hit, they read before, but they told how much lead us all in a hurry. they didn't kill any handful of leaders. his bullet leaders will be a red line. and that's something that is go, that has got the international community, very worried indeed, as the one called that far as lucky by the story. so the best thing, so let's go back over to they read. we couldn't join andrea, tennessee again from the un inspect specing fee. and if i let you see the $10.00 fee, let us both down so it's good to have you back with us from be root. can i just expand already? the role of unit fell in love with on how difficult has it been over the years suddenly to monitor southern life and all that. and so you might say, keep the peace and how difficult has it been in recent months with the obviously

ongoing will ring. garza, which is impinging, called the security of southern 11 on right. now, is definitely the last 6 months. have been uh, very concerning uh for the mission for the region. uh, most of the exchanges of buyer that we have been witnessing. and i doing experience that besides a few sporadic escalation has been very much, 456 kilometers along the line. let me also add that initial now with the resolution . 1701 has been the same. so can 2006 before since 1978 now from 2006 on this last october, the south of level known as witness. why don't we supply this period in recent history and we will really. busy team to trying to move, move forward until the conflict and guys have started in a 4th of the 3 good at day exchanges. a fire along the line. we have 10500 b. c bus working at 247. even now along the line to try to monitor the situation,

de escalate the situation and trying also to prevent a dangerous misunderstanding listed working with the moneys army, our strategic partners, and also assisting communities. but the commitment of the parties is necessary. you can order not only to move forward, but at the moment to try to have a diploma to canada and the political solution not to bring these exchanges. a fire to an old. when you have an incident like this on the board, and you have to start investigating it and then reporting back to your superior is how is how quickly does that happen? because obviously you want to deescalate the tension but also find out what actually happened. and it's, of course, it depends on a case by case incidents and, and as i mentioned earlier, we need to be very, very careful in order to get all that information verified information from our own source. it from our people on the ground in order to finalize it and, and investigation we bought and presented to the,

to the security council. this is something that we have been doing until and he's now at the investigation reports to us for uni, feeling un policies and procedures. they have submitted to the parties and they have not to populate, but they are submitted and that, and that's what we have doing. and that's what we would be doing today for these a very serious incidents that were for the people where in judge indeed, i mean is such a un peacekeeping force has many nationalities involved from argentina to noise from islands canada, from denmark, to fiji. obviously, you will want to get in touch with the national governments 1st to tell them who is involved and who's injured. how difficult is it to keep? you might say the lines of communication open at the time like this when that raw mold and a dozen countries very worried about that military personnel working under a neutral flag. or there is

a very strong for the nation between the mission. now the head of mission, uh, you've done a generalized at all and, and know the trip contributing companies the stage is we own so, which is that a un at truce supervision organization with their observers that that's been as being hit and they're under the organization with commander of unit field, and that's what we are doing and trying to also in florida, families 1st before providing this information to the public. but the coordination has been ongoing for a long time. there are 47 categories at the moment. a sparked up uni. feel that also shows a strong commitment from the international community to ensure that these area uh, we go back to the, the, the, the, the situation that we were leaving before october 2023 and also to move to move forward. but the commitment is there, but we need the commitment of for the boxes in the conflict to, to find a solution and to stop. uh, uh, these exchanges are 5 that would be witnessing since october. well, this is

a developing story, i'm sure we'll be speaking to you again very soon for the moment. 100, send it to you from the un entering full same level. thank you. thank you. meanwhile, there's any full sense of being bombing residential areas across the calls a strip. at least 2 people were killed and move and i tackled a house in the house, the refugee compton, central gaza, at least 80 to palestinians have been killed. a 98 injured in the past 24 hours. been garza city, at least 17 palestinians were killed into a tax is ready for his bomb. they sports club in the should j, a neighborhood. the government media office says police officers involved in securing humanitarian aid with a target. in the past few hours of 84 states have carried out most strikes in gauze of city, honey about mates, and this update from alpha. were able to get confirmed reports that the numbers able to work critically injured ad and both of these. sorry, as the way the traffic circle has reached 10 people who were able to transfer to
