No U.N. peacekeepers were injured after a rocket struck the mission's headquarters in southern Lebanon. The rocket's origin was unclear.
As skirmishes broke out between Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants along Israel's northern border on Sunday, the United Nations mission said a rocket struck its headquarters in southern Lebanon. The U.N. mission said none of its peacekeepers were hurt despite not being in shelters at the time when the rocket struck the coastal town of Naqoura. The mission did not specify where the rocket was fired, saying it was working on verification.
We continue to actively engage with authorities on both sides of the Blue Line to de-escalate the situation, but regrettably despite our efforts military escalation continues,' the United Nations mission wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 'We urge all the parties involved to cease fire and allow us, as peacekeepers, to help find solutions.' 'No one wants to see more people hurt or killed,' the mission wrote.
Hezbollah spokesperson Rana Sahili said Sunday's increase in the intensity of the exchanges doesn't indicate Hezbollah has decided to fully enter into the Hamas-Israel war. The fighting on the border is 'only skirmishes' and represents a 'warning,' she said. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
