The UN Interim Force in Lebanon said gunfire from an Israeli position hit close to its peacekeepers twice, reporting no casualties but decrying a "concerning trend."

Personnel patrolling in south Lebanon on Friday “reported 15 rounds of small arms fire that struck no more than 50 meters away from them,” a UNIFIL statement said.

Shortly afterwards, “peacekeepers in a second patrol in the same area reported approximately 100 rounds of machine-gun fire struck approximately 50 meters from them,” it added, reporting no damage or injuries.
