UN peacekeepers in Lebanon have said Israeli army forces fired at one of their positions in south Lebanon in a “direct and apparently deliberate” attack that damaged a watchtower, AFP reports.

Peacekeepers in the southern village of Kfar Kila observed an Israeli army tank “firing at their watchtower”, Unifil said, adding that “two cameras were destroyed, and the tower was damaged” in what the force called “direct and apparently deliberate fire on a Unifil position”.
