UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander Major General Stefano Del Col chaired a special Tripartite meeting with senior officers of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at a UN position in Ras Al Naqoura today.

Late this morning, UNIFIL detected rocket launches from outside UNIFIL’s area of operations in south Lebanon towards the Israeli-occupied Golan. 

This was followed almost immediately by an artillery response from Israel directed at the general area around Kafer Chouba.

Just after noon today, UNIFIL received reports that at least two rockets had been fired from Lebanon towards Israel.

The IDF confirmed the reports and responded with artillery fire.
