International incidents during the 2006 Lebanon War

During the 2006 July War, a number of international incidents occurred in Lebanon, largely involving United Nations personnel who have come under a number of attacks by Israeli forces.

Most notably on 25 July 2006, four unarmed United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) peacekeepers were killed during an Israeli air strike on a UN observation post in southern Lebanon. Israel later stated that the attack was an error due to the incorrect identification of the UN position as a militant enemy post. The observation post was built in 1948, had clear UN markings, and UN staff (including Deputy Secretary-General Mark Malloch Brown) had contacted the IDF at least 14 times telling them to call off the attack.
