NNA – quot;Today at around 12 pm, a UNIFIL patrol was hit by IDF gunfire in the vicinity of Aytaroun, in southern Lebanon,quot; the UNIFIL wrote on X platform.

quot;Just yesterday, UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander LTG Lazaro urged those exchanging fire along the Blue Line to halt this cycle of violence, strongly reminding everyone that any further escalation could have devastating consequences,quot; they went on.

quot;No peacekeepers were injured, but the vehicle was damaged. This incident occurred during a period of relative calm along the Blue Line,quot; they added.

quot;This attack on peacekeepers, dedicated to reducing tensions amp; restoring stability in south Lebanon, is deeply troubling. We condemn this act amp; underscore the parties#39; responsibility to safeguard peacekeepers, preventing unnecessary risks to those striving to establish stability,quot; the nbsp;UNIFIL noted.
