UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon are finding themselves in the crosshairs of Israel’s escalating conflict with Hezbollah, as tensions rise in the region. The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported that Israeli tanks forcibly entered one of its positions on Sunday, prompting international criticism.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that UN peacekeepers leave the area, as Israeli forces have repeatedly fired on them since the beginning of their ground operation in Lebanon. Five peacekeepers have been wounded in recent attacks that struck their positions, with most of the blame being placed on Israeli forces.
The situation in southern Lebanon is becoming increasingly volatile, with UN peacekeepers caught in the middle of a conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. International outrage is growing as the safety and security of peacekeepers are compromised in the midst of the escalating tensions.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the international community will respond to the targeting of UN peacekeepers in the region. With tensions at an all-time high, the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict is more pressing than ever.

Bibi's lies are obvious.
UNIFIL must f#@k off out of IDF’s way. They’ve been exposed that they’ve covered up for hezbollah for years probably at UN’s orders 🤬
Why are you not reporting the tunnel 100 meters away from UNIFIL?
The UN failed to do their job and uphold resolution 1701, now they serve as human shields for Hezbollah
UNIFIL is a waste of money. They've been there for 45 years and have done NOTHING to implement resolution 1701. They should pack and leave.
The UN is useless
UNIFIL what are they doing there…
UNIFIL are complicit, knowingly allowing the entrances of terror tunnels to be located just metres from their watch towers and bases. People need to be held accountable for the this.
For 18 years Hizboola has weaponized south Lebanon under Unifil noise. They claim they didn’t know. B.S.
More like the UN peacekeeper collusion with Hezbollah is suddenly exposed by Israeli operations
haha this is poorest military i have ever seen 🤣, UN is making a joke really
UNIFIL mandate of keeping the peace has obviously expired. They know that. Time to leave. Unless they like to be caught in the middle. 🙂
Shame on you UNIFIL for being in cahoots with Hezbollah… Hezbollah tunnels within 100 metres of UNIFIL posts… How shameful…
UN provide free human shield
What is peace keeper and two country on firing rockets 😂
As usual Netanyahu is lying about the human shield fairytale he needs to come up with a better lie
Those rapists in blue helmets haven’t seen anything yet we know they were dressed as Canadian officers during the trucker convoy in Canada you are all about to be expelled from our soil with extreme prejudice
