Recently, United Nations peacekeepers stationed at a permanent observation post near Dhayra in southern Lebanon found themselves in a tense situation when they came under fire from Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, was confirmed by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in a statement released on Friday.
According to UNIFIL, the IDF soldiers opened fire after noticing that the peacekeepers were observing their nearby house-clearing operations. In response, the UN duty guards at the post decided to withdraw to avoid any potential harm.
