Title: Tenenti: Attacks Against Civilians Violate International Law

The official spokesperson for "UNIFIL," Andrea Tenenti, stated today, Monday, that "UNIFIL witnessed heavy gunfire across the Blue Line yesterday." In a statement, Tenenti said, "We have heard tragic reports of the killing of four civilians, three girls and a woman, in the vicinity of Aitron in southern Lebanon. The potential for escalation to get out of control is evident, and it must be stopped. The death of any civilian is a tragedy, and no one wants to see more people injured or killed." He continued: "We remind all concerned parties that attacks against civilians constitute a violation of international law and may amount to war crimes. We urge everyone to cease fire now to prevent further harm to more people."
