Lebanese army arrests six after gunmen attack UN peacekeepers in south

The Lebanese army arrested six Lebanese suspects on Saturday following an attack on a UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) patrol vehicle in southern Lebanon on Thursday. The attack, involving six men on mopeds firing on the vehicle, caused no injuries. The arrests occurred as a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) delegation prepared to visit southern Lebanon to assess the situation on the ground. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met with the UNSC delegation on Friday, stating their visit would provide a clearer understanding of the situation, particularly regarding tensions with Israel and the disarmament of Hezbollah. UNIFIL has been monitoring the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah since November of last year.
