UNIFIL today handed over to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) a cleared minefield during a ceremony held near the Blue Line in Blida, southeastern Lebanon.

Yesterday, peacekeepers in vehicles patrolling the Blue Line were fired upon by IDF soldiers in a Merkava tank near Sarda.

One ten-round burst of machine-gun fire was fired above the convoy, and four further ten-round bursts were fired nearby.

Yesterday afternoon, UNIFIL peacekeepers observed a series of Israeli airstrikes in our area of operations in south Lebanon, in the villages of Marounah, Majadel, and Baraashit.
