Israeli military blocks UN peacekeeping convoy in southern Lebanon

Thursday, 16 April 2026, 08:15 · 1 min read

Israeli forces stopped civilian supply vehicles accompanying a UN convoy en route to UNIFIL's (the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) headquarters in Naqoura on Tuesday, 14 April, preventing them from reaching the base despite prior coordination with the Israeli military. UNIFIL spokesperson Kandice Ardiel described the incident as alarming, noting it was the latest in a series of obstructions that have included roadblocks and last-minute cancellations of movement permits, as well as the deaths of three peacekeepers in recent weeks. The force has warned that persistent restrictions are undermining its ability to fulfil its mandate, which runs until the end of 2026, and could jeopardise its readiness to monitor any future ceasefire.
