Observer post is hit by Israeli air strike in town of Khiyam
BEIRUT, Lebanon – A U.N. observer post was hit by an Israeli airstrike in south Lebanon Tuesday, killing four peacekeepers, U.N. officials said.
A bomb directly hit the building and shelter of an Indian patrol base from the observer force in the town of Khiyam near the eastern end of the border with Israel, said Milos Struger, spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon known as UNIFIL.
U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said in New York that four U.N. peacekeepers were killed in the blast.
