Around 25 rockets and missiles were fired at Israeli towns and forces by Hezbollah from next to UNIFIL posts over the past month, the IDF says. One of the attacks launched from next to a UNIFIL position killed two IDF soldiers, according to IDF Arabic language spokesman Avichay Adraee.
“The IDF maintains constant contact with UNIFIL forces and will continue to take all necessary measures to avoid harming UNIFIL forces in the area, and will continue to do so despite the complex situation,” Adraee writes on X.
The 146th Division found hundreds of weapons, including rockets aimed at Israel, located “within dozens to a few hundred meters of UNIFIL positions located close to the Blue Line,” he says.
