The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said that an Israeli tank rammed peacekeeping vehicles on Sunday in southern Lebanon.
"On two occasions today, Israel Defense Forces [IDF)]soldiers rammed UNIFIL vehicles with a Merkava tank, in one case causing significant damage," the statement said, adding that the Israeli soldiers had blocked a road in south Lebanon's Bayada "that is used to access UNIFIL positions".
"Over the past week, Israeli soldiers have fired 'warning shots' in the area, striking and damaging clearly identifiable UNIFIL vehicles. In one case, a 'warning shot' landed a metre away from a peacekeeper who had dismounted his vehicle," the statement added.
