Israeli Military Fire Back in Response to South Lebanon's Shelling
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Sunday, three missiles from southern Lebanon hit northern Israel. The Israeli military responded with artillery fire. UNIFIL called on Monday for maximum restraint after the incident.

“I wouldn’t really speculate on that [the time of investigation], it is a matter of the investigation itself. Of course, locating the launch site is an important element of it. It is important that the investigation is underway,” Neeraj Singh said.

At the same time, UNIFIL is not ready to comment on the suspects of southern Lebanon rocket fire that hit northern Israel.

“I don’t think I will be commenting on that [suspects of the ongoing investigation]… The important thing here is both parties reaffirm that they want to maintain the secession of hostilities and that’s what we are focused on,” Neeraj Singh said.

Singh also added that the investigation was done in coordination with both Israel and Lebanon.
