BEIRUT, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Lebanese President Michel Aoun on Wednesday condemned an attack against the peacekeepers of UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in southern Lebanon.

In a statement from the Presidency, Aoun said an investigation into the attack was underway, emphasizing the importance of coordination between the Lebanese Armed Forces and the UNIFIL to avoid a recurrence of such incidents.
