Israeli drone targets UNIFIL patrol, injures 4: Sources

An Israeli drone targeted a patrol of international observers working with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), in the border town of Rmesih, near the Lebanese-Palestinian border, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported today morning.

An Israeli drone targeted a UNIFIL-designated military vehicle today morning, which led to several injuries among its crewmembers, one of whom was critically injured.

Our correspondent said that the attack on the UNIFIL-designated vehicle resulted in four injuries, three of whom were international observers who were transported to the town of at-Tiri to receive medical treatment while the fourth was a Lebanese translator who was also injured.

In detail, the three international observers are Norwegian, Chilean, and Australian nationals.

The mayor of Rmeish, Milad Alam, told Reuters that he had spoken with the translator and confirmed his condition was stable.

"From Rmeish, we heard a blast and then saw a UNIFIL car zipping by," Milad said.

A security source confirmed to Al Mayadeen the attack on the UNIFIL patrol, which occurred in the Qatmoun Valley, on the outskirts of Rmeish, in South Lebanon.
