UNIFIL Italian peacekeepers have donated essential medicines and powdered milk to the Lebanese Red Cross and the crisis unit of Tyre municipality. These supplies will be distributed to displaced people in southern Lebanon.

This morning, peacekeepers at a position near Kafer Kela observed an IDF Merkava tank firing at their watchtower. Two cameras were destroyed, and the tower was damaged.

Yet again we see direct and apparently deliberate fire on a UNIFIL position.

Last night, a peacekeeper at UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura was hit by gunfire due to ongoing military activity nearby. He underwent surgery at our Naqoura hospital to remove the bullet and is currently stable. We do not yet know the origin of the fire.
