UN peacekeepers reported no missile trajectories or airstrikes from midnight to 4pm local time (1300 GMT) today, Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the UN secretary-general, has revealed, according to Al Jazeera.

Haq said that last night, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) “observed two missile trajectories launched from south of the Blue Line that landed north of the Litani River”.

Despite the relative calm, Unifil “observed ongoing Israeli airspace violations, mostly by drones”.

According to Haq, Israeli ground activity was also observed, which included “armoured vehicle movements, engineering work, and logistical activity”.

He says Unifil also “observed four Israeli patrol boats within Lebanese territorial waters southwest of Naqoura”.
