    Earlier, Hezbollah had said that it had targeted an Israeli tank with guided missiles while it was advancing to the border area of ​​Ras al-Naqoura, before attacking an Israeli force with a missile salvo while the force was trying to pull injured soldiers out of the area.

    On Sunday, UNIFIL said that it was “deeply concerned by recent activities” by the Israeli military near a peacekeeper position in southwestern Lebanon.

    UNIFIL is deeply concerned by recent activities by the IDF immediately adjacent to the Mission’s position 6-52, southeast of Marun ar Ras (Sector West), inside Lebanese territory.

    The IDF has been repeatedly informed of this ongoing situation through regular channels.
