Beirut--A UN peacekeeper was killed Wednesday in southern Lebanon, a spokesman said, as Israel shelled areas near the border after Hezbollah targeted its vehicles.
"We can confirm that one UNIFIL (UN Interim Force in Lebanon) peacekeeper was killed. As a matter of policy, we do not give the nationality until the family is informed," spokesman Andrea Tenenti said.
He was unable to specify the source of fire that killed the soldier.
