TL;DR Summary

Italy's defense ministry has clarified that Hezbollah, not Israel, was responsible for a recent attack on a UN peacekeeping base in Lebanon. Initially, Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto had blamed Israeli forces for the attack, but later reports indicated that he had only partial information at the time. The attack involved eight rockets hitting the UNIFIL base in Chamaa, where Italian troops are stationed, but no serious injuries were reported. Italy is a major contributor to the UNIFIL force, which monitors the demarcation line between Lebanon and Israel.
