Overview
- UNIFIL reported Sunday that an IDF Merkava tank hit two clearly marked UN vehicles near the Blue Line, causing heavy damage to one.
- Over the past week, the mission says Israeli soldiers fired warning shots that struck UN vehicles, with one round landing about one metre from a dismounted peacekeeper.
- UNIFIL says Israeli troops blocked the Bayada road used to reach UN positions near Naqoura, restricting routine patrol access.
- The force reports Israeli personnel destroyed force‑protection cameras at its Naqoura headquarters and five other posts and spray‑painted gate windows, cutting visibility of the perimeter.
- The incidents follow cross‑border fighting since March, when three Indonesian peacekeepers were killed, including one that a UN probe says died from Israeli tank fire, and UNIFIL says it will keep reporting violations to the UN.
