Eight UNIFIL Peacekeepers Injured in Suspected Hezbollah Rocket Attack in Lebanon

The attack on UNIFIL's Naqoura headquarters raises concerns over peacekeeper safety amid ongoing Israel-Hezbollah conflict.

Eight Austrian soldiers from the UNIFIL contingent sustained minor injuries after a rocket hit their headquarters in Naqoura, southern Lebanon.
UNIFIL suspects the rocket was fired by Hezbollah or an affiliated group, although the exact source remains unclear.
Austria condemned the attack and demanded an immediate investigation, emphasizing the need for peacekeeper safety.
