UNIFIL says peacekeeper injured on Lebanese-Israeli border
BEIRUT, Oct 29 (Reuters) – United Nations peacekeeping force UNIFIL said on Sunday that one of its members was injured after shells hit the mission’s base near the village of Houla on the Lebanese-Israeli border on Saturday.
The Israeli army and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group in Lebanon have been exchanging fire on a daily basis since the start of the Gaza conflict three weeks ago.
UNIFIL said on Saturday that its headquarters near the Lebanese coastal town of Naqoura was also damaged by a shell that landed inside the base.
