The Israeli army said on Friday it had opened fire at a "threat" near a UNIFIL peacekeepers' position in southern Lebanon during an "incident" that injured two peacekeepers.
"Israeli soldiers operating in southern Lebanon identified an imminent threat against them and responded by opening fire in its direction," said a military statement. "An initial examination indicates that a UNIFIL post located about 50 meters from the source of the threat was hit during the incident, which resulted in two injuries among UNIFIL ranks," the text added.
