Another UNIFIL base in southern Lebanon was hit by Hezbollah rockets earlier today, according to the Israeli military.
The IDF says that at around 1:30 p.m., a UNIFIL position near the southern Lebanese village of Shama was hit by several rockets launched by Hezbollah from the Maaliyeh area.
Italy’s defense ministry said that eight rockets hit the headquarters of the Italian contingent of the UN peacekeeping force in Shama, and a ministry source told AFP that “Hezbollah was responsible for the attack.”
No injuries were reported.
Earlier today, the IDF said a Hezbollah rocket attack damaged a separate UNIFIL position in the southern Lebanon village of Ramyeh, in an attack that the UN agency confirmed was “fired most likely by non-State actors within Lebanon.”
