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.
