The Israeli army insists that it was not targeting UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, after the UNIFIL force reported being fired at in the latest in a series of incidents.
“UNIFIL infrastructure sites and forces are not a target,” the Israeli army says in a statement.
UNIFIL earlier said Israeli army forces had fired at one of its positions in south Lebanon.
