The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) says Israeli soldiers have fired at its peacekeepers from a tank near an army position in southern Lebanon.

In a statement, UNIFIL said the Israeli military “fired on UNIFIL peacekeepers from a Merkava tank from near a position Israel has established in Lebanese territory”.

It said heavy-machinegun rounds struck about 5 metres (5.5 yards) from the peacekeepers’ location.

Israel is very big on everbody having the right for self defense so they’ll fully understand and support this.
