UK government 'appalled' by Israel's attacks on UN bases in Lebanon
October 11, 2024 - The UK government says it is "appalled" by reports that Israel has fired on UN bases in southern Lebanon.
On Thursday, two peacekeepers were wounded when an Israeli tank fired on UN facilities in the south.
Two more peacekeepers were injured in a separate explosion earlier - the IDF says it's investigating how it happened.
Meanwhile, rescue workers are searching through rubble after two Israeli air strikes hit central Beirut on Thursday.
Lebanon's prime minister says the 22 people killed in the attacks, which came with no warning, were all civilians. Another 117 people were injured. Israel has not commented.
Elsewhere, the IDF says it detected around 100 rockets crossing from Lebanon into northern Israel within the space of half an hour.
