Recent incidents in southern Lebanon have seen Israeli forces opening fire on United Nations peacekeepers, resulting in injuries to two personnel. The UN has reported multiple attacks on its positions, with a tank shell fired at a UNIFIL watchtower being one of the notable events. In light of these developments, Western diplomats anticipate a United Nations Security Council condemnation of Israel's actions. The Irish premier has stated that such firing on peacekeepers is intolerable, and Italy has summoned the Israeli envoy following the injuries sustained by the peacekeepers. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has been reported to instruct its fighters to avoid attacking Israeli troops near the UN peacekeeping forces, amidst rising tensions in the region.
