Israeli tanks fire at a Spanish patrol in Lebanon
Israeli armoured personnel were outside the security zone and the Spanish patrol came to monitor their position, according to the Defence General Staff.
In southern Lebanon, within the framework of the United Nations Interim Force (known as FINUL), a Spanish patrol has emerged unharmed from the attack by Israeli tanks. The shells did not reach the military and no one was injured.
According to the Defence Staff, three Israeli tanks entered Lebanese territory around 4.30 p.m. and were stationednorth of a security zone close to the Israeli Army's nearby positions. In response, a patrol of the Spanish battalion moved south of the town of El Khiam to monitor the presence of armoured personnel outside the established perimeter.
In the course of this operation, the Israeli tanks fired three gunshots, and their shells fell between 150 and 380 metres from the patrol. After the attack, the Spanish patrol moved to a safe zone, and then the Israeli tanks retreated to the base. The patrol returned without further incident to the Miguel de Cervantes base in Marjayun.
The UN mission in Lebanon has about 11,000 troops, of which about 700 are Spanish. It has been reported that the mission has been attackedby at least eight by 2025, although the ceasefire agreed in November 2024 (which envisaged the withdrawal of Israel and Hezbollah from southern Lebanon) remains in force.
