He wants no witnesses.

 

   He wants fewer casualties 

 

“Your refusal to evacuate the UNIFIL soldiers makes them hostages of Hezbollah. This endangers both them and the lives of our soldiers." “We regret the injury to the UNIFIL soldiers and we are doing everything in our power to prevent this injury. But the simple and obvious way to ensure this is simply to get them out of the danger zone,” Netanyahu stated."

US urges Israel to stop shooting at UN peacekeepers in Lebanon

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2ek2gkp9k2o

 

 

Seems netanyahu thinks he can order the UN around. Just who does he think he is? Without the US to protect him, he'd likely be in an israeli prison for his crimes ( from before the October 7 attack ).

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on United Nations peacekeepers to heed the Israeli military's warnings to evacuate Lebanon immediately as the fighting intensifies amid Israel's ground operation.

 

 

 

Unless the IDF isn't taking orders from netanyahu and is doing whatever it likes, netanyahu ordered israeli tanks to attack a UN base in Lebanon.

The UNIFIL peacekeeping force said two Israeli Merkava tanks destroyed the main gate of a base and forcibly entered before dawn on Sunday morning (local time).

 

The UN force said any deliberate attack on peacekeepers was a grave violation of international humanitarian law.

 

France and Spain, which each have nearly 700 soldiers in the force,

have also condemned the Israeli attacks

If the UNIFIL forces had done their job properly and stopped Hezbollah terrorists from attacking Israel,  there wouldn't have been any need for Israelto cross the Blue Line.  

 

I'll believe in UNIFIL the day its units actually try to disarm Hezbollah, which is at best a private militia but in reality a terrorist group.  

The UNIFIL isn't there to assist israel, which you would know from a reading on a reputable source about it.

 

If you have a problem with what it does, you could take that up with the UN.

 

NB the mandate is to restore peace and security in the border region, which is in Lebanon, nothing about in israel.

 

The mandate is:

https://www.npr.org/2024/10/11/nx-s1-5150044/un-peacekeepers-lebanon-israel-united-nations

UNIFIL’s specific mandate in southern Lebanon was to confirm the withdrawal of Israeli forces, restore peace and security in the border region and assist the Lebanese government in reestablishing control in the southern part of the country.

 

UNIFIL’s rules of engagement allow the use of force only if necessary for self-defense or to carry out its duties.

Let’s not forget the atrocities in Gaza.

 

At least 34 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks today

 

Our colleagues on the ground are reporting, quoting medical sources, that at least 34 people have been killed in Israeli air attacks across Gaza since dawn on Sunday.

This includes five children who were killed when an Israeli drone struck them as they were playing near a cafe in Shati refugee camp.

I was going to post about that, but you beat me to it.

Just happened a while ago. A major drone attack on the Golani brigade in israel evaded israeli air defences and injured many and possibly 3 dead.

 

 

https://www.newsweek.com/dozens-injured-hezbollah-attack-israel-1968310

The AP shared Israeli rescue services reports that said at least 40 people were injured after the Lebanese militant group said it had launched a "swarm of drones" at the Golani Brigade's camp in the northern Israeli town of Binyamina, about 30 miles south of Haifa.

At least three people were "critically" injured, according to the AP, which shared footage of a helicopter arriving at Sheba Medical Center with the injured.

The drones reportedly did not trigger Israel's alarm system.
