What is UNIFIL? Why is Israel attacking them?

Israel has repeatedly fired on UNIFIL positions since 1 October 2024, when it began military operations in Lebanon. Despite Netanyahu’s demands of immediate withdrawal of all UNIFIL personnel within 5km of the Israeli-Lebanese border, contributing countries have unanimously declined. Israeli soldiers deliberately disabled surveillance equipment at UNIFIL bases, this included video surveillance, lighting system and a radio repeater. They have also shot UNIFIL positions in South Lebanon which included UNIFIL's main base at Naqoura twice which injured four UNIFIL personnel. One UNIFIL soldier was injured by Israeli fire and two Israeli tanks forcibly entered a UNIFIL base in Ramyah. Fifteen other peacekeepers required medical attention for skin irritation and gastrointestinal problems due to smoke inhalation. All of which are violations of international law and, according to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, could constitute a war crime. But why is Israel shooting at U.N peacekeepers in the South of Lebanon? #UNIFIL #Lebanon #Israel Subscribe to our channel: http://ow.ly/AVlW30n1OWH Subscribe to MEE Telegram channel to stay up to date: https://t.me/MiddleEastEye_TG Middle East Eye Website: https://middleeasteye.net Follow us on TikTok:   / middleeasteye   Follow us on Instagram:   / middleeasteye   Like us on Facebook:   / middleeasteye   Follow us on Twitter:   / middleeasteye
