UN Peacekeeper Injured by Israeli Gunfire in Southern Lebanon

A UN peacekeeper was injured by gunfire from Israeli positions and a grenade explosion in southern Lebanon, according to the UNIFIL mission. The incident occurred during a patrol near Bastarra, where heavy machine gunfire was reported. UNIFIL condemned these actions as serious violations of Security Council resolution 1701 and urged the Israeli army to cease hostilities near peacekeepers. Since a ceasefire in November 2024, over 335 people have died from Israeli attacks in Lebanon, despite a supposed Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
