Kfar Shouba:A UNIFIL position near Kfar Shouba was hit by several rounds of small arms fire on Wednesday morning, impacting the area along the Blue Line in Sector East.
According to National news agency - Lebanon, peacekeepers at the site immediately sought shelter after the initial firing began, and fortunately, there were no injuries.

UNIFIL condemned the attack, highlighting that it constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law and the Security Council Resolution 1701, potentially amounting to a war crime.
