Spokesperson Farhan said peacekeepers reported extensive ground military activity in South Lebanon, encounters with temporary Israeli roadblocks that restricted movement in both sectors, stone-throwing in Sector West, and the discovery of unexploded ordnance and improvised explosive devices that were safely destroyed on-site.
He added that UNIFIL also reported Israeli defense force artillery firing events across both sectors and activity north of the Litani River, and noted obstructions to freedom of movement for peacekeepers and IDF activities observed in Lebanese territorial waters.
