Eight Austrian soldiers from the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) suffered light injuries in a rocket attack on their Camp Naqoura base, prompting a condemnation from Austria's Defence Ministry. The source of the attack remains unclear, but it is suspected to have originated from northern Lebanon, likely involving Hezbollah or affiliated groups. Fortunately, none of the soldiers required urgent medical attention. Concurrently, tensions in the region escalated, highlighted by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza that resulted in numerous civilian casualties. Hezbollah has also announced the election of Sheikh Naim Kassem as their new leader, following the death of Hassan Nasrallah. Despite the rising hostilities, UNIFIL continues its mandate to monitor the situation in southern Lebanon.
