CAIRO (Reuters) -The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said that four Ghanaian peacekeepers were wounded on Tuesday when a rocket that was most likely fired by “non-state actors” hit their base in southern Lebanon.
Peacekeepers and facilities were targeted in three separate incidents on Tuesday, UNIFIL added.
Israel’s military said Hezbollah had twice fired rockets on Tuesday that damaged UNIFIL posts.
One rocket was fired at 9.50 am (0750 GMT), hitting a UNIFIL post in the Ramyeh area in southern Lebanon, it said.
At 1.30 pm, the military said, Hezbollah fired a number of rockets from Maaliyeh that hit and damaged a UNIFIL post in the area of Chamaa in southern Lebanon.
