India voiced deep concern over rising civilian casualties in Lebanon, calling recent developments very disturbing.

India on Friday expressed deep concern over the situation in Lebanon, particularly reports of a high number of civilian casualties, calling recent developments “very disturbing."

Speaking at a press briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said,"We are deeply concerned by reports of a large number of civilian casualties in Lebanon."

Highlighting India’s role as a troop-contributing nation to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), the spokesperson added, “As a troop contributing country to the UNIFIL that is invested in Lebanon’s peace and security, the direction of events is very disturbing."

Reiterating India’s longstanding position, Jaiswal said, “India has always emphasised the protection of civilians as the foremost priority. Observing international law, and respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity of states is essential."
