| Summary: | The Israeli army has repeatedly attacked Unifil’s bases, with at least seven peacekeepers injured, and another eight injured by Hizbollah rocket fire. [...]even Israel has mooted the idea of a much-expanded mission for the group that would include inspection rights over all Lebanon’s borders, the Financial Times reported last month. UN peacekeepers were supposed to assist the army in monitoring villages and the contested border, to look for anything suspicious like rocket launchers or tunnels. While Unifil has condemned the Israeli attacks, it also rebuked Hizbollah after a rocket smashed into the force’s headquarters and caused “minor injuries” to some peacekeepers. |
