Israeli tanks destroyed the main gate of a UNIFIL facility in Ramyah, southern Lebanon, amid ongoing clashes between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Hezbollah. The UN peacekeeping force reported that smoke from nearby rounds caused skin irritation and gastrointestinal issues for 15 peacekeepers. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the UN to withdraw UNIFIL from Hezbollah strongholds, calling their presence a danger. The IDF stated the incident occurred while evacuating injured soldiers under fire. The UN condemned the attack as a violation of international law and called for the safety of peacekeepers.
