UNIFIL says targeting of peacekeepers ‘unacceptable’ as Israeli military denies striking area.
Three United Nations observers and one translator were wounded while patrolling the border in southern Lebanon when a shell exploded near them, the UN peacekeeping mission said.
The blast took place in Rmeish, a village along the Israeli-Lebanese border.
The targeting of peacekeepers is “unacceptable”, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), a peacekeeping force that helps monitor the Israel-Lebanon border, said in a statement on Saturday, adding that it was still investigating the origin of the blast.
It said the “safety and security of UN personnel must be granted”.
The Israeli military and the Iran-aligned Hezbollah, an ally of Hamas, have been exchanging near daily fire across the border since October when the current conflict in Gaza started.
