Israeli forces fired machine gunfire at a UN peacekeepers' position in southern Lebanon, mistaking them for hostile forces due to limited visibility. The incident occurred near the city of Naqoura, where the UNIFIL peacekeeping mission's headquarters are based. No casualties were reported.

According to preliminary reports, a Merkava tank fired at a peacekeepers' observation tower. UN officials noted that this was a "direct and apparently deliberate" attack, although the Israeli side attributed it to a mistaken identity due to poor weather conditions. The incident was part of a series of incidents along the Blue Line—the demarcation line between Lebanon and Israel—where clashes with Hezbollah have escalated.

The UNIFIL peacekeeping mission, which has been operating in the region under a UN Security Council mandate since 2006, has been repeatedly targeted in recent days. There is no official comment from the Israeli command at the time of publication.
