Italian UN Peacekeepers Injured in Lebanon Amid Hezbollah-Israel Clashes

Four Italian UN peacekeepers were injured in a rocket attack on a UNIFIL base in southern Lebanon, likely launched by Hezbollah or its affiliates. This marks the third attack on the base in a week amid ongoing cross-border tensions between Hezbollah and Israel. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the attack, calling it unacceptable. UNIFIL has faced increasing attacks since Israel's ground incursion into southern Lebanon, with both Hezbollah and Israel trading fire since October 2023. UNIFIL has refused to withdraw, urging all parties to cease attacks on its bases.
