Today we are observing intense exchanges of fire in several areas along the Blue Line between Lebanese territory and Israel.
 
There have been impacts on both sides of the Blue line. Our headquarters in Naqoura was hit with a rocket and we are working to verify from where. Our peacekeepers were not in shelters at the time. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
 
We continue to actively engage with authorities on both sides of the Blue Line to de-escalate the situation, but regrettably despite our efforts military escalation continues. We urge all the parties involved to cease fire and allow us, as peacekeepers, to help find solutions. No one wants to see more people hurt or killed.

We remind all the parties involved that attacks against civilians or UN personnel are violations of international law that may amount to war crimes.
