The Israel Defense Forces on Friday identified a launch by the Hezbollah terrorist organization that struck a UNIFIL post in the Al-Aadaissah area of Southern Lebanon, the military said.

As a result of the fire, three U.N. personnel were injured, two of them seriously.

“A review of the launch trajectory clearly indicates that the fire was carried out by Hezbollah,” the IDF said.

“The Hezbollah terrorist organization continues to operate in a manner that endangers international forces and harms U.N. personnel operating in the area,” it added.
