    The publication notes that Finnish peacekeepers of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were carrying out a planned patrol mission in Marakah, using five armored vehicles. However, on that day, the vehicles were shot at several times with pistols. As a result of the shelling, the rear window of one of the patrol vehicles was smashed.
