Italy summons Israeli envoy after UN peacekeepers wounded in Lebanon — source
Italy’s defense minister has summoned the Israeli ambassador, a government source tells AFP, after the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon said it had been hit by Israeli tank fire.
The UNIFIL force, which has some 10,000 peacekeepers in south Lebanon, said that Israeli tank fire on its headquarters wounded two members, as Israeli troops battle Hezbollah on the border.
Italy is the largest contributor of soldiers to UNIFIL and the head of the mission is an Italian general.
