« Attacks on UNIFIL are absolutely impossible “. The words of the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell reflect the opinion of the 27 member states, asking Israel to stop attacks against it. It seems, however, that the Jewish state trusts in soldiers the UN, which it accuses of being complacent towards Hezbollah, to support its statement, the Israeli military called on journalists to provide evidence by showing them tunnels and weapons caches near the UN base. .The UN cheerfully refuses to move its troops who play an essential role in this conflict in southern Lebanon.
UNIFIL wants to play its role fully
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked the UN to withdraw its troops from the area where they are. The Minister of Energy says that UNIFIL is a shield for Hezbollah. These comments from Israeli leaders particularly irritated members of the international community who support the role of the UN force which, since the first conflict in South Lebanon, has intervened between the bells. This time, she felt that she was openly attacked and saw some of her soldiers wounded by Israeli fire. To exonerate themselves, members of the IDF general staff said Shiite militias had installed tunnels and weapons caches near the UN barracks. They organized an attack by journalists on the site to verify their statements. These decisions, however, cannot reduce the usefulness of UNIFIL, which is doing everything to prevent a general conflagration. Clashes between Israeli soldiers and Shiite fighters are getting worse. The bombs are extremely deadly but they do not allow the Israeli forces to advance.
