UN peacekeepers in Lebanon were fired upon 40 times during a patrol, with no injuries reported.

UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, including French and Finnish troops, were fired upon about 40 times while patrolling villages. The patrol was initially blocked by a group, at least one armed, before being attacked from behind. No peacekeepers were injured, but some vehicles sustained bullet impacts. UNIFIL views this as a violation of international laws and UN Security Council Resolution 1701. They are investigating the incident.
