France requested an urgent gathering of the UN safety Council in connection with the death of 3 UNIFIL peacekeeping mission soldiers in Lebanon - stated French abroad Minister Jean-Noel Barrot on Monday.

UN peacekeeping mission chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix had previously stated on that day that within 24 hours in Lebanon 3 UN Mission soldiers in the country - UNIFIL - had been killed. The military suffered death in 2 separate events. The first as a consequence of an detonation of a rocket close Adszit al-Kusajr in the south of the country, and 2 more - erstwhile an explosive of unknown origin exploded in the village of Bani Hajjan under the car they were driving. 2 another UNIFIL soldiers were besides injured in the second event, 1 of which was serious. All killed were Indonesians.

- I'm sorry. specified attacks close the position of UN peacekeeping forces are unacceptable and unreasonable," Barrot said, pointing out that France calls for a "full investigation into the circumstances of these tragedies".

UNIFIL forces have been stationed in confederate Lebanon since 1978, monitoring the safety situation along the demarcation line with Israel. The mission is scheduled to end at the end of 2026.
