At least four Italian peacekeepers were slightly injured in an explosion caused by two rockets hitting a Unifil base in southern Lebanon, Italy’s Defence Ministry has said, reports. The attack at the UNP 2-3 base in Chamaa, which hosts the Italian contingent, is the latest in a string of attacks against the UN mission which has been tasked with preventing hostilities from escalating in the south of Lebanon since its establishment in 2006. “From an initial reconstruction, two rockets hit a bunker on the base and a room near the international military police, causing damage to the surrounding infrastructure. Some glass shattered due to the explosion, hitting the four soldiers,” the ministry said in a statement.
