UNIFIL says incident first of its kind since Israel and Lebanese-armed group Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire last November.
UNIFIL reported that direct fire from the Israeli military struck its peacekeeping position in Kfarchouba, marking the first such incident since the November ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. The organization expressed concern over aggressive behavior from the Israeli military towards its personnel, including targeting by lasers during UN patrols. Meanwhile, Israel claimed to have killed a Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon, with sporadic cross-border attacks continuing despite the ceasefire.
