"Yesterday, peacekeepers in vehicles patrolling the Blue Line were fired upon by IDF soldiers in a Merkava tank near Sarda. One ten-round burst of machine-gun fire was fired above the convoy, and four further ten-round bursts were fired nearby," the statement said on Wednesday. It said the IDF had been informed of the location and timing of the patrol in advance, "following usual practice for patrols in sensitive areas near the Blue Line." UNIFIL said attacks on or near peacekeepers violate UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
