Austria says eight of its Unifil troops wounded by rocket attack in Lebanon

Austria has said that eight of its troops belonging to UN peace-keeping forces in Lebanon (Unifil) were lightly wounded by a rocket strike on Camp Naqoura near the Israeli border.

"We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms and demand that it be investigated immediately," the defence ministry said on Tuesday.

It added that it was not clear where the attack came from, and that the soldiers were not in need of urgent medical care.

A report published last week found that the Israeli military was suspected of forcibly entering a Unifil base in Lebanon and using white phosphorus in close enough range to injure 15 peacekeepers. 

The report detailed around a dozen attacks launched on UN troops in Lebanon, including damaging several facilities and injuring troops at border posts in south Lebanon.
