Source: Al Jazeera [Qatari state media]

“The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) says eight of its peacekeepers were wounded after a rocket, likely fired by Hezbollah or an affiliated group, hit its headquarters in southern Lebanon. … Austria’s Federal Ministry of Defence said the attack injured right Austrian soldiers with the force, condemning the attack and adding it was ‘currently not possible to say where the attack came from.’ … UNIFIL has faced a series of attacks on its peacekeepers in recent weeks. The Israeli government has demanded that UNIFIL leave its positions in southern Lebanon, but the UN maintains that the mission is not going anywhere.” (10/29/24)
