The explosion damaged the washroom and troop accommodations at the base, where the injured soldiers were stationed.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the only attack that day. Five rockets also struck the UNIFIL Sector West Headquarters in Shama, causing significant damage to the maintenance workshop, but fortunately, no injuries were reported .

The Israeli Defence Forces attributed the rocket fire to the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, but they haven't commented on the incident yet . The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) confirmed the attacks and is likely investigating the incidents.
