Lebanon on Friday condemned an Israeli attack that it said wounded United Nations peacekeepers in the country's south, after state media reported a second such attack in as many days.
In a statement, the foreign ministry condemned "the targeting... carried out by the Israeli army" on the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon.
It said the bombing targeted "watchtowers and the main UNIFIL base in Ras Naqoura, and on the Sri Lankan battalion's base, which led to a number of wounded."
The official National News Agency said an Israeli "Merkava tank targeted one of the UNIFIL towers on the main road linking Tyre and Naqoura," wounding personnel from a Sri Lankan battalion.
It added that "enemy forces" also "fired an artillery shell, targeting the main entrance of the UNIFIL command center in Naqoura, leading to damage to the entrance."
In a statement issued later in the day, UNIFIL said its Naqoura headquarters was "affected by explosions for the second time in the last 48 hours."
