Hezbollah denies role in UNIFIL attack

Hezbollah has denied any involvement in an incident involving UNIFIL forces in the Ghanduriya-Bin Jbeil area of southern Lebanon. The group called for caution in making judgments and assigning responsibilities regarding the incident, stating that the Lebanese Army's investigations should determine the full circumstances. This follows earlier reports of a UNIFIL patrol coming under small-arms fire in the village of Ghanduriyah, resulting in casualties. The denial comes amid heightened tensions in southern Lebanon where UNIFIL operates as a peacekeeping force.
