UN force says three peacekeepers wounded in blast inside South Lebanon position

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon said a blast hit one of its positions and wounded three peacekeepers, the third such incident in a week.

"This afternoon, an explosion inside a U.N. position... injured three peacekeepers, two seriously. They are all currently being evacuated to hospital. We do not yet know the origin of the explosion," UNIFIL spokesperson Kandice Ardiel said.

An Indonesian peacekeeper was killed on Sunday and two more were killed the following day in the south near the Israeli border where the U.N. force is deployed and where Israel and Hezbollah have been fighting a war since last month.
