Two UN peacekeepers have been injured after an Israeli tank fired towards a watchtower at a UN base in southern Lebanon, the UN says. According to a statement by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), the observation tower at its headquarters in Naqoura was directly hit, causing the peacekeepers to fall. “The injuries are fortunately, this time, not serious, but they remain in hospital,” the UN says. It adds that Israeli soldiers also fired at a UN base in Ras Naqoura, “hitting the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering, and damaging vehicles and a communications system”. There’s more in their statement which we’ll bring you shortly. UNIFIL is a UN peacekeeping mission created in 1978. It monitors hostilities and helps to ensure humanitarian access to civilians.
They fired at 2 UN bases so imagine what happens to random civilians. They are going to make the absurdly-high civilian death toll in Gaza look small compared to what they have in store for the region if we don’t stop sending them bombs.
