On Sunday, UN peacekeepers stationed in Lebanon reported a breach by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at one of its positions in southern Lebanon. The incident, which occurred at around 4:30 a.m., involved two IDF Merkava tanks forcibly entering the position by destroying the main gate while peacekeepers were in shelters.
According to the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), the tanks requested multiple times for the base to turn out its lights and left approximately 45 minutes later after UNIFIL protested through its liaison mechanism, citing the endangerment of peacekeepers due to the IDF presence.
