A recent Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon resulted in the deaths of three individuals and left five UN peacekeepers injured. The strike targeted a vehicle at a military checkpoint near Sidon, where three Lebanese soldiers were also hurt. The peacekeeping force, known as UNIFIL, urged all parties to avoid actions that endanger both peacekeepers and civilians. This incident follows a series of similar attacks along the road between Beirut and the Bekaa Valley, raising concerns over escalating violence in the region.
