Two UN peacekeepers in Lebanon have been wounded by Israeli fire, the mission said on Thursday, as Israel’s military ground operations in the country continued.
In a statement, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) said two of its members were wounded after a Merkava tank fired towards an observation tower at Unifil headquarters in Naqoura, “directly hitting it and causing them to fall”.
“[Israeli] soldiers also fired on UN position (UNP) 1-31 in Labbouneh, hitting the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering, and damaging vehicles and a communications system,” said the peacekeeping mission.
“An IDF drone was observed flying inside the UN position up to the bunker entrance.”
Israeli attacks in Lebanon over the past month, including a bombing campaign and ground invasion, have killed over 1,200 people and displaced one million.
Don’t forget that Israeli affiliated militias assassinated their UN negotiator in 1948.

The leader of the assassination plot was the future founder of the modern Likud party and future prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir. He lead the Likud party until 1993 when Netanyahu took over. His Wikipedia page is absolutely fucked.

This and their attacks on the UNRWA are far from the first times Israel has been at war with the UN.
