United States president Joe Biden said he was "absolutely, positively" urging Israel to stop firing at UNIFIL peacekeepers.

[6] Two hours later, after the tanks left, Israeli forces fired several rounds 100 meters from the base that caused smoke to enter the camp.

The smoke caused injuries to 15 UNIFIL peacekeepers due to skin irritations and gastrointestinal reactions, who required medical treatment for unusual symptoms despite wearing gas masks.

The IDF said that it fired a smoke screen to aid the evacuation of its wounded troops, and that it had "maintained continuous contact" with UNIFIL.
