India has expressed concerns over reports of civilian casualties in Lebanon amid the fragile ceasefire between the US-Iran. Israeli strikes have killed hundreds in Lebanon after the fragile truce was announced. New Delhi added that the Indian embassy in Lebanon remains in close touch with the Indian community for its safety and security.
Ending hostilities in Lebanon were among the terms in Iran’s 10-point proposal.
“We are deeply concerned by reports of a large number of civilian casualties in Lebanon. As a troop contributing country to the UNIFIL that is invested in Lebanon’s peace and security, the direction of events is very disturbing,” said the spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs Randhir Jaiswal.
“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. Our Embassy in Lebanon remains in close touch with the Indian community for its safety and security,” he added.
