ALBAWABA - On a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the UNIFIL official account announced that on Saturday, two mortar shells hit a UNIFIL base in the vicinity of the village of Houla, resulting in the injury of one peacekeeper who was promptly evacuated for medical treatment.
The announcement added that the peacekeeper sustained minor injuries, he was immediately evacuated to the hospital at UNIFIL headquarters in Naqoura and he is currently in stable condition.
Yesterday, UNIFIL compounds were hit twice: once in the afternoon with a shell hitting the headquarters in Naqoura, and once in the evening near Houla, injuring one peacekeeper.
UNIFIL expressed deep concern about these two attacks on our forces, who are working around the clock to restore stability in southern Lebanon and de-escalate the dangerous situation. We urgently urge all sides involved in the confrontation to put down their weapons immediately.
