The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) says that two or three unknown people fired approximately 30 shots in direction of peacekeepers, who fired back and moved to safety.
No one was hurt and an investigation was launched, UNIFIL adds in a statement.
“We remind the Lebanese authorities of their responsibility to ensure the safety and security of peacekeepers who are carrying out sensitive and important work on Lebanese territory,” UNIFIL says. “We have requested the Lebanese authorities undertake a full and complete investigation of this incident and bring the perpetrators to justice.”
