A UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon has condemned the targeting of peacekeepers after three UN military observers and a Lebanese translator were wounded by an explosion near the Israel-Lebanon border. The incident occurred during ongoing exchanges of fire between the Israeli military and Hezbollah. While two sources claim the observers were injured in an Israeli attack, Israel denies targeting the area. The UN has stressed the need for all parties to protect non-combatants and halt the violence to prevent further harm.
