I can only assume they finally got a phone call from Biden.
United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA):
Lebanon: Flash Update #33 - Escalation of hostilities in Lebanon, as of 7 October 2024
Two UN peacekeepers injured after Israeli tank fires at watchtower
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.
There is a word for this I think it starts with L…
Just to note the term “reckless” is being dropped out of the discussion. These attacks on UN peacekeepers were never “reckless”, they were deliberate.
