UNIFIL says Hezbollah likely responsible for rocket strike on its HQ in Lebanon

[Beastly Boy]

The UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon says its Naqoura headquarters were hit by a rocket, setting a vehicle workshop on fire. In a post on X, UNIFIL points a finger at Hezbollah “or an affiliated group” as the likely attacker, as the rocket was fired from the north.

“We remind Hizbullah and all actors of their obligations to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property,” says UNIFIL. “Any deliberate attack on them is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Resolution 1701.”

UNIFIL has accused the IDF of injuring its forces on several occasions. Israel has called for peacekeepers to withdraw from the battle zones until Israel’s ground campaign against Hezbollah is over.

The peacekeeping force says it has opened an investigation into today’s rocket fire.
