The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said on October 25 that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) had fired at one of their observation posts in southern Lebanon.
“IDF soldiers fired at an observation post near the border village of Dhayra on Tuesday [October 22],” the peacekeeping force said in a statement, adding “the duty guards withdrew to avoid being shot.”
The force also reported three incidents of unidentified fire impacting its positions, teams and vehicles over the past week, adding no peacekeepers were hurt but describing the security situation in southern Lebanon amid the clashes between the IDF and Hezbollah as “extremely challenging.”
“Since early October, peacekeepers have observed clashes on the ground in or around” a dozen south Lebanon villages and towns,” the UNIFIL said, noting that “rocket fire from Lebanon and heavy air and artillery strikes from Israel have continued.”
The IDF “ has repeatedly demanded that the UNIFIL vacate its positions… and has deliberately damaged camera, lighting, and communications equipment at some positions,” according to the UN force.
“Despite the pressure being exerted on the mission and our troop-contributing countries, peacekeepers remain in position and on task,” it said. “All actors are reminded of their obligation to avoid actions putting peacekeepers or civilians in danger.”
The clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border first broke out after the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, with Hezbollah launching attacks in support of the Palestinian enclave. Israel escalated its attacks on Lebanon starting from September 17 and on September 27 it assassinated the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nassrallah.
The IDF officially announced the launch of a limited ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon on September 30.
On October 13, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the UN to withdraw its force from southern Lebanon. The call came after several peacekeepers were wounded by IDF fire. Israel faced some backlash over the attacks, but it took no measures to guarantee the security of the UNIFIL.

at that point, israel has gone full retard on documented genocide and documented war crimes, so, to paraphrase a famous psychopath, “what difference, at this point, does it make?”
you have to understand that israel has to restore its deterence. so they have to show their enemies that they are capable, in fact, to kill people who can’t defend themselves. of course, for people who _can_ defend themselves, that’s another story. just ask ‘s n o w d e n’ once he has finished smelling his asshole.
un is a jewish organization to fool the rest of the world. it doesn’t work the other way around.
iphone , xbox , mcd is a terrorist state never buy them
i fully agree with you – but nevertheless want to remind all of you people here that the one and only nation on earth that stood up united against the jews, and tought this scum a lesson they never forget is national socialist germany ! not jewish soviet russia, not usa, not uk or france let alone poland or china.
no, it was the brave ns germany ! so instead of yelling “foul” at this country and all of its wehrmacht & ss heros, we need to realize that they + their leaders were absolute right – and that they really fought in defence of mankind ! http://alturl.com/pm5sf
the atrocities committed by the germans and their fascist allies in the soviet union from 1941-45 mark the most vile assault on mankind committed during the twentieth century. and in the end they got their asses handed to them and secured europe for the anglo-american bankers. nice work.
after the bolshevics lost control over their socialist project they funded a national socialist project. then this project instead of just marching east as supposed descided to march into france. at that point they funded stalin to fight it hoping to play both sides but miscalculated so the sowjets won. the same game they play time and time again funding both sides to weaken them to pick up whats left easily.
lay off the cough medicine.
was the lesson how rapidly a rival to the anglo/us empire could be brought to heel? because that’s what happened to germany under the nazis, who seem to have more or less been installed by the british. thanks for derping.
israel are very dangerous they must remove from map
iphone and israel is a terrorist state
i buy xiaomi next time from samsung
peacekeepers? the un? give it a break. from the start they facilitated the military industrialists right after the serbs set up the assasination of ferdy when tsar nicky wanted the un to investigate the matter they just laughed in his face. they haven’t changed. imo.
the un…. yes, a fucking joke, unless it’s the fucking canucks, they always shoot back, trigger happy bunch…
the un was created in 1945. thanks for derping.
whaaat… macz used the same hillaryous paraphrase from the same psychopath i was going to use.
is there anyone left in the room the israeli fucktwats won’t try to attack? aside from that reclusive island tribe somewhere near japan, maybe not them…yet…
they have always targeted un peacekeepers. they murdered count bernadotte, the un peace envoy to the middle east. he was a swedish diplomat who risked his life during ww2 to save thousands of jews. they murdered lord moyne, churchill’s envoy to the middle east. they even tried to murder winston churchill himself during the war when he was fighting hitler by sending him letter bombs. a leopard can’t change its spots. a rattlesnake can’t help being a rattlesnake.
we are the chosen. we are the rulers. we are the ones.

it’s not going well for the so called chosen ones, god hates these satanic israelite imposters and will make them pay for their evil upon others.
take this as a sign of israel losing and very frustrated at its downward spiral
un whining while us and isr conquer all. so tiresome now. face it the us, eu and uk rule the world and everyone must toe their line. un is not there to solve the problems but to provide a platform to talk out differences. unfortunate this not work.
this is zion!!!, and we are not afraid!!!
actually you *are* afraid, otherwise you would have targeted nuclear and energy infrastructure knowing full well what that would mean to israel
cannot. that would be against the environment.
targets hit in iran. we got you.
unit 8200…that was disappointing
israel. britain and the usa are a cancer on this planet

soldiers are animals that we use for our political goals. henry kissinger.
