UN Lebanon peacekeepers say Israeli fire hits patrol

Beirut, Lebanon: The UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon said Israeli fire hit one of its patrols in the country's south on Saturday, despite a Hamas-Israel truce largely quietening the Lebanon-Israel frontier.

'At around 12:00 p.m., a UNIFIL patrol was hit by IDF (Israeli army) gunfire' in the vicinity of Aitarun, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon said in a statement.
