On Tuesday, direct fire from the Israeli army struck the perimeter of a peacekeeping post in south Lebanon, the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said on Wednesday.
This was the first such incident since Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire last November, marking a worrying flashpoint in the fragile border truce.
UNIFIL operates multiple peacekeeping positions along Lebanon's southern frontier to monitor the ceasefire.
The breach highlights the ongoing challenges of keeping the border calm even under a formal ceasefire.
Regional and international observers will watch closely to see if this breach remains an isolated event or signals rising tensions in south Lebanon.
