Israeli tanks fired shells near UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on Monday, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said, calling the act a serious violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.

UNIFIL reported that two Israeli Merkava tanks moved from an IDF position inside Lebanese territory near Sarda and fired three shells, with two landing about 150 meters from peacekeepers. The personnel withdrew for safety while being tracked with a laser, though no injuries occurred, News.Az reports, citing Xinhua.

The UN force stressed that attacks on identifiable peacekeepers are becoming more frequent and urged the IDF to stop such actions, warning that they threaten regional stability.
