Earlier, the Lebanese Armed Forces said that it is preparing to deploy its forces to southern Lebanon, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
"Lebanon strongly condemns any attack on UNIFIL and calls on all sides to respect the safety, security of the troops and their premises," Lebanese Foreign Minister said.
The military noted that Friday's attacks came after Hezbollah caused damage to the UNIFIL posts in Ramyeh and Chamaa on Tuesday.
Italian sources said an investigation into the facts was under way. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told Italian media that Hezbollah might be responsible for the attack.
Israel eyes phased 60-day IDF withdrawal from Lebanon under US-backed ceasefire, with UNIFIL oversight and strict terms.
As US envoy Amos Hochstein works to broker a deal for northern Israel's security, UNIFIL's role in Lebanon faces scrutiny after decades of failing to curb Hezbollah's activities.
Hezbollah has been launching rockets just miles from Israel’s northern border and has shown a willingness to target UNIFIL bases.
Last week Italy had said an unexploded artillery shell hit the base of UNIFIL base, putting the blame on the IDF.
According to the IDF assessment, the rockets were fired from the area of Deir Aames, one of many fired by Hezbollah in a barrage launched at Israel at 09:50 this morning.
