BEIRUT (Dispatches) -- UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon reported that Israeli tank fire landed just five meters from their patrol, forcing them to take cover. UNIFIL condemned the incident as a serious violation of international resolutions and contacted Israeli authorities to halt fire near its personnel. Separately, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun instructed the Foreign Ministry to file an urgent UN Security Council complaint against Israel over a concrete wall extending beyond the Blue Line. The barrier, he said, violates Lebanese sovereignty and UN Resolution 1701, blocking residents from 4,000 square meters of land.
