The Lebanese army says it has arrested six people after gunmen attacked UN peacekeepers patrolling in the south of the country.
The UN force, known as UNIFIL, had reported that six men riding on three mopeds opened fire on a patrol vehicle on Thursday without hurting anyone.
According to today’s statement, the Lebanese army’s intelligence directorate followed up on the attack and arrested six suspects.
The Lebanese army says it would not tolerate attacks on UNIFIL, which it says carries out an important stabilizing role south of the Litani River, near the Israeli border.
