The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) announced on Sunday that one of its troops was injured due to an Israeli drone dropping a bomb that exploded near its position in the south, marking the third such incident in just over a month.
UNIFIL is working with the Lebanese army to consolidate a ceasefire reached last November aimed at ending a military confrontation that lasted over a year between Israel and Hezbollah, which included a two-month open war.
UNIFIL said in a statement published on Sunday, “Just before noon yesterday (Saturday), an Israeli drone dropped a bomb that exploded near a UNIFIL position in the town of Kfarkela, resulting in one peacekeeper sustaining minor injuries and receiving first aid.”
UNIFIL noted that Saturday’s incident constituted “another serious violation of Resolution 1701 and a worrying disregard for the safety of peacekeeping forces.”
