Israeli drone, tank fire target Unifil patrol in southern Lebanon

The UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon (Unifil) says that one of its patrols came under a grenade attack from an Israeli drone, as well as tank fire, near Kfar Kila in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli attacks “are in violation of Security Council Resolution 1701 and Lebanon’s sovereignty, and show disregard for safety and security of the peacekeepers implementing Security Council-mandated tasks in southern Lebanon”, Unifil said in a statement.
