Israeli tanks reportedly "forcibly entered" a United Nations base in Ramyah, southern Lebanon, raising alarms about the safety of peacekeepers. The incident occurred when two Israeli tanks entered the UNIFIL position, instructing personnel to "turn out its lights." After UNIFIL lodged a protest, the tanks withdrew about 45 minutes later. However, shortly thereafter, rounds were fired near the base, causing skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions among 15 peacekeepers. UNIFIL condemned the breach, stating it violates international law and Security Council Resolution 1701, and called on the Israeli Defense Forces to ensure the safety of UN personnel and property.
