The U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon said Thursday two of its members were wounded when its positions came under fire in the country’s south, where Israel and Hezbollah are fighting.
"Three positions were hit by fire and two peacekeepers were injured," a UNIFIL spokeswoman said, after Lebanon’s official National News Agency said a watchtower of the peacekeeping force was hit in the Ras Naqoura area.
"UNIFIL’s Naqoura headquarters and nearby positions have been repeatedly hit. This morning, two peacekeepers were injured after an IDF (Israeli army) Merkava tank fired its weapon toward an observation tower at UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura, directly hitting it and causing them to fall,” the spokeswoman said.
