An Israeli civilian crossed the Blue Line into Lebanon on Tuesday, November 10, and climbed the gate of a UN peacekeeping force (UNIFIL) post in Ras al-Naqoura. UN peacekeepers intercepted him shortly after and handed him over to the Israeli military. Upon returning to Israel, he was transferred to the police for questioning. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced an investigation into the incident, emphasizing that crossing the Blue Line is prohibited and dangerous. UNIFIL has also launched its own investigation. A UNIFIL spokesperson stated that the unauthorized crossing of the Blue Line, which marks Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon, violates UN Security Council Resolution 1701. In a separate event on Tuesday evening, a UNIFIL patrol came under fire approximately a dozen times near Wadi Jilu, southeast of Tyre. The peacekeepers returned fire, and the shooting stopped. No UNIFIL personnel were injured, according to the force, which has requested Lebanese authorities investigate to identify those responsible for the shooting.
