IDF: Here's how Hezbollah rockets fell short and hit a UNIFIL base
According to the IDF assessment, the rockets were fired from the area of Deir Aames, one of many fired by Hezbollah in a barrage launched at Israel at 09:50 this morning.
Multiple UN Interim Force in Lebanon bases were hit by rocket fire on Tuesday morning and then again in the afternoon, one in the region of Ramyeh, another near Chamaa, and additional locations were hit later, UNIFIL said.Earlier on Tuesday, a report was received that a UNIFIL post in the area of Ramyeh had been hit, causing several injuries and damage to the post.Later, UNIFIL statements clarified that four Ghanaian peacekeepers had sustained wounds from the attack.An IDF review determined that Hezbollah fired a rocket that fell short and hit the UNIFIL post, the military said.UNIFIL largely agreed with this, saying the rocket was “fired most likely by non-state actors within Lebanon.”

Several UNIFIL incidents
The UNIFIL West headquarters was hit by five rockets, which damaged the maintenance workshop; no peacekeepers were injured, according to UNIFIL.During a meeting of European defense ministers on Tuesday, Italy’s Guido Crosetto said it was intolerable that Israel had bombed a UNIFIL base, according to the ANSA news agency.“Today, there was a new attack. Three rockets fell on Chamaa. It is intolerable.”
The same base had been hit earlier in November by artillery fire.
UNIFIL troops were also harassed by small arms fire while patrolling near the village of Khirbat Silim, though no injuries were reported.
