IDF says it urged UNIFIL troops to shield themselves before it opened fire in the area

The Israeli military says that its troops operated earlier today in the area of Naqoura in southern Lebanon, near a UNIFIL base, adding that it instructed the UN forces in the area to remain in protected spaces, following which the Israeli forces opened fire.

The statement appears to be a confirmation of UNIFIL claims that IDF tank fire injured two of its soldiers.
