UNIFIL peacekeepers and facilities were targeted in three separate incidents in south Lebanon today, with four peacekeepers injured in one of the incidents. 

Shama (Lebanon), 15 November 2024 – This afternoon, a 155mm live artillery shell hit UNP 2-3, UNIFIL West Sector headquarters in Shama.

The shell did not detonate and Italian bomb disposal experts swiftly secured the area, removed the ordnance, and conducted a controlled detonation.

This morning, a UNIFIL patrol near Qallawiyah noticed a cache of ammunition near the roadway. After informing the Lebanese Armed Forces of the discovery, peacekeepers continued on their planned route. A short while later, they got out of their vehicle to remove some debris from the roadway.
