"Attacks on peacekeepers are blatant violations of international law and may constitute war crimes", the statement continued. The blue helmets continued to work in accordance with their UN mandate to "restore security and stability in southern Lebanon".
Israel and Lebanon had agreed on a ceasefire between Israel's army and the Hezbollah militia at the end of November. The agreement, which was reached after months of mutual shelling, was extended in January until February 18.
