The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon has said that Israeli forces fired on its peacekeepers Tuesday in the country’s south near the de facto border with Israel, reporting no injuries.

"Yesterday, peacekeepers in vehicles patrolling the Blue Line were fired upon by IDF (Israeli army) soldiers in a Merkava tank near Sarda," a UNIFIL statement said Wednesday.

"Peacekeepers asked the IDF to stop firing through UNIFIL’s liaison channels... Fortunately, no one was injured."
