What are UN “peacekeepers” even doing? I haven’t heard anything about them trying to keep peace in the region.
I appreciate that, but that’s more of a mission guideline than what they’re actually doing right now on the ground.
They are trying not to get shot…
Guarding the border for israel normally with a stolen buffer zone in Lebanon under the guise of keeping both parties out. In reality it means Hezbollah has to operate stealthily close to the border.
But they’re rather inconvenient now that israel wants to invade Lebanon.
Rather generous title for the NazIDF pointing a tank barrel directly at the UN troops
Thye’re using the UN base as human shield cover now. UN vehicles in blue, IDF in red
So does that mean this UN mission has failed then? A quick look suggests they are supposed to be keeping Hezbollah out of the picture and Israeli forces out of Lebanon. All of it wasted, there are over 10000 UN personnel there. Since they first went there in 1978 it seems they’ve been as much use as a sock on a fish.
