As noted, the attack was carried out from the town of Deir Qanoun En Nahr, in Tyre, from where several launches were carried out. “As a result of the impact, several UNIFIL soldiers who were at the outpost were injured,” the Israeli security forces said in a statement.

“This is a new attack by the terrorist organization Hezbollah against UNIFIL posts after a few days ago it attacked force posts in the regions of Shama and Ramyeh.

UNIFIL itself indicated on Friday that “the rockets, probably fired by Hezbollah or affiliated groups, hit a bunker and a logistics area used by the international Military Police, causing significant damage to nearby infrastructure.”
