Israeli tank rams UN vehicles

UNIFIL reported that the ramming occurred on Sunday, marking a dangerous escalation in the friction between the Israeli Defense Forces and international monitors.

The UN has called for an immediate investigation into the incident, stressing that peacekeepers must be protected under international law.

This comes as Israel continues to pound southern Lebanon with airstrikes and tank fire targeting Hezbollah positions.

The Lebanese government has accused Israel of violating international law, while the IDF has claimed Hezbollah uses civilian and medical compounds for military purposes.
