Eight Austrian soldiers belonging to the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) sustained slight and superficial injuries in a rocket strike on Camp Naqoura near the Israeli border, Austria’s Defense Ministry says.
“We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms and demand that it be investigated immediately,” the ministry says in a statement, adding that it is not clear where the attack came from, and that none of the soldiers needed urgent medical care.
There was no immediate comment from the IDF.
