A soldier of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was killed Wednesday in shelling in southern Lebanon, the UN mission's spokesman said.
In statements to MENA, Andrea Tenenti refused to blame any party for the attack or mention the nationality of the slain soldier, saying that it is the UNIFIL's policy.
Tenenti revealed that UNIFIL Commander Maj. Gen. Luciano Portolano has urged the Lebanese and Israeli sides to show utmost restraint.
Some media reports claimed that the slain soldier is Spanish, who was killed in an Israeli bombardment of Lebanon.
The frontier has largely been quiet since 2006, when Hezbollah and Israel fought a 34-day war in which 120 people in Israel and more than 500 in Lebanon were killed
