(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 11 - The Italian bases of the UNIFIl mission in southern Lebanon have been targeted again by the Israeli army.
    According to qualified security sources who are following the dossier and are in contact with the leaders of the UN mission, the attack took place overnight at the 1-31 base - already hit in recent days - and two demarcation walls of the base were knocked down.
    Israeli forces started targetting UNIFIL bases Thursday with three attacks on Italian bases which Defence Minister Guido Crosetto called a war crime, summoning the Israeli ambassador to Rome to lodge a formal complaint.
    Premier Giorgia Meloni has also called the attacks unacceptable.
    Italy has about 1,100 troops in the UN peacekeeping buffer force, which has been in Lebanon since 1978. (ANSA).
