Despite Israel’s claims that their strikes against Hezbollah are precise, four Indian soldiers from the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were killed by Israeli shelling today. Milos Strugar, a UNIFIL spokesman said, “One aerial bomb directly impacted the building and shelter in the base of the United Nations Observer Group in Lebanon in the area of Khiam. There were 14 other incidents of firing close to this position in the afternoon from the Israeli side and the firing continued during the rescue operation.” An Israeli spokeswoman said the military was investigating the report. Additionally, an Israeli tank shell hit a UNIFIL position on Monday, wounding four Ghanaian soldiers. In 1996, an Israeli jet bombed a UNIFIL compound, killing 106 civilians sheltering inside.
