The UN team had refused Israeli army (IDF) demands to evacuate its position further north, setting up for a bloody standoff as tanks moved in.
“The injuries are fortunately, this time, not serious, but they remain in hospital,” said UNIFIL in its statement. UNIFIL is further calling the fresh incident “very serious” given the IDF “deliberately fired” on its positions.
The UN HQ is located in the village of Labbouneh, and its team said IDF fire hit “the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering, and damaging vehicles and a communications system.”
The statement warned that “targeting peacekeepers is a very serious violation, not only of Resolution 1701 but also of international humanitarian law.” Monitoring cameras have also been destroyed. The Israeli action reportedly involved several tanks.
