A UNIFIL position in the southern Lebanon village of Ramyeh was damaged in a Hezbollah rocket attack this morning, the Israeli military says.

Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, writes on X that the site was hit by a rocket launched by Hezbollah from the Deir Aames area, during a barrage on northern Israel at 9:50 a.m.

He says UNIFIL reported casualties and damage as a result of the site being hit by the rocket.

There is no immediate comment from UNIFIL on the incident.
