"Even though there were no victims or significant damage, I think that Israel's attack on Unifil cannot be considered acceptable" and "this is the position that Italy has taken with determination at all levels: we demand that the safety of our soldiers be guaranteed, both in Unifil and in the bilateral mission , who, together with the rest of the international community, have contributed for years" to the stability of the border between Israel and Lebanon. This was stated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in her communications to the Senate in view of the European Council.

She also stressed that " the attitude of the Israeli forces is completely unjustified and a clear violation of UN resolution 1701. " It is necessary to "work towards the full implementation of the resolution, strengthening the full capacity of Unifil and the Lebanese armed forces." Meloni also announced that she will go to Lebanon.
