The attack on UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura comes a day after two Indonesian peacekeepers were injured.

The United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon confirms that its headquarters in Naqoura was hit by explosions for the second time in 48 hours, a day after Israeli forces struck the same position.

Two peacekeepers from the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were injured after two explosions occurred close to an observation tower, the UN mission said in a statement on Friday.

    Naquora is tiny. 4,150 people, with a highest elevation of 60m. From what I can tell, the UN HQ is separate from the main village, in a former toll station and a couple buildings on a skinny beach strip that is two streets wide. The IDF really has to be going out of their way to attack UN troops, which is insane if Israel’s goal is to create a regional war where the US bails them out.
