UNIFIL says Israeli gunfire hits patrol in southern Lebanon

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) says one of its patrols was hit by Israeli gunfire in the vicinity of Aytaroun in southern Lebanon.

UNIFIL condemned the attack on its peacekeepers, calling it “deeply troubling” in a post on X, adding that a vehicle was damaged but there were no casualties.

“We strongly remind the parties of their obligations to protect peacekeepers and avoid putting the men and women who are working to restore stability at risk,” it said
