Berri Says Attack on UNIFIL Aims at Destabilizing Southern Lebanon

Speaker Nabih Berri condemned on Friday the attack on UNIFIL and the national security, saying it aims at destabilizing the South.

“The terrorist attack that targeted the UNIFIL forces aims at destabilizing Lebanon and the South,” a statement issued by Berri’s office said.

Earlier Friday, five French soldiers and two civilians were wounded by a powerful roadside bomb that targeted the peacekeepers’ patrol on a road that leads to Burj al-Shamali.

The speaker noted that the “bombing (only) serves the Israeli” intentions aimed at committing “genocides” and violations in southern Lebanon.

He called on the army and the security institutions to intensify their measures “to unveil those responsible behind the organized terrorist crimes.”
