UNIFIL’s Spokesperson Andrea Tenenti reiterated on Wednesday, October 11, that “UNIFIL continues to be present and operational.”

He tweeted on his personal X account that “in a conflict situation, rumours can run rampant. Our essential work continues and UNIFIL’s chief Major General General Lázaro is in constant contact with authorities on both sides of the Blue Line urging restraint.”

Earlier on Wednesday, rumors circulated claiming that Hezbollah had instructed the Lebanese army and UNIFIL to evacuate all positions on the Southern border with occupied Palestine. However, this rumor was subsequently denied.

On Wednesday morning, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for firing several rockets from Lebanon towards northern Israel in response to the Israeli attacks launched on Monday, which prompted an Israeli retaliation involving artillery fire towards southern Lebanon as the bombardment of Lebanon continued.
