Celebratory gunfire rang out in Beirut to mark the start of a ceasefire between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah to end almost 14 months of fighting.
The mission was created in 1978 to help restore order after Israel's first invasion of Lebanon. Decades later, it's still there but has come under fire during a new Israeli invasion in Lebanon.
The Israeli attack on the Lebanese army came hours after Israeli troops fired on the headquarters of U.N. peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, injuring two peacekeepers for the second time this week.
“The situation is really quite volatile,” Capt. Alessandro Crepy, with the Italian contingent of the peacekeeping group UNIFIL, says of the fighting between forces in Israel and Lebanon.
