The Israeli military has said a tank collided with a UN peacekeeping post while coming under heavy fire in southern Lebanon during an incident when multiple soldiers were injured, AFP reports.

“An initial review showed that an IDF tank that was trying to evacuate injured soldiers while still under fire backed several meters into a Unifil post. Once the enemy fire stopped, and following the evacuation of the injured soldiers, the tank left the post,” the military said in a statement, after the UN mission accused two Israeli tanks of “forcibly” entering their position.
