Andrea Tenenti, the spokesperson for the UN peacekeeping troops in Lebanon, said the attack that killed 12 people in Syria’s occupied Golan Heights falls outside the force’s operations.

Israel had blamed Hezbollah for the explosion, but the Lebanese resistance movement has vehemently denied the allegation, Al Jazeera reported. 

“UNIFIL is not in the position to attribute the responsibility of the tragic incident in Majdal Shams,” Tenenti said, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).

Tenenti’s comments come after some media outlets falsely reported that a UNIFIL investigation found Hezbollah to be responsible for the attack.
