UN Accuses Israel of Targeting UNIFIL Positions in Lebanon

The United Nations claims Israeli forces deliberately damaged a UN watchtower amid escalating tensions with Hezbollah.

UNIFIL reported that an Israeli army bulldozer demolished an observation tower and perimeter fence at a UN site in southern Lebanon.
Former UN peacekeepers allege that UNIFIL operations are heavily restricted by Hezbollah, limiting their ability to monitor the area effectively.
Israel has requested the evacuation of UNIFIL forces, accusing them of inadvertently providing cover for Hezbollah activities.
The UN has criticized Israel for what it sees as deliberate attacks on peacekeeping infrastructure, calling it a violation of international law.
Despite the tensions, UNIFIL maintains its presence in southern Lebanon, emphasizing its role in monitoring and providing humanitarian aid.
