BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Israeli forces fired on two positions used by U.N. peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on Thursday and at another one on Wednesday, the U.N. force said, as Israel pressed its assault on Hezbollah and told Lebanese civilians not to return to homes in the south.
The UNIFIL force said two of its peacekeepers were injured in one of the incidents, when an Israeli tank fired at an observation tower at the force’s main headquarters in Naqoura, hitting the tower and causing them to fall. There were no casualties in the other two incidents, a U.N. source said.

Media Bias Fact Check | bot support
why are people always downvoting these bot posts?
Cause fuck em. Thats why.
fuck em whom? fuck da people or fuck da botz?
The bot.
It’s a pointless spam bot
The bias bot is biased and mislabels sources in a way that legitimizes news sources that should not be given that, particularly it labels alt right news as factual and non Western sources (al Jazeera) as non factual due to being written by brown people.
It’s a propaganda bot trying to dictate legitimacy.
oh ok… didn’t know that. I mean sure, someone somewhere had to decide which sites are factual/non factual, but I was naive to assume these decisions were made based on scientific research and not money and politics
The "unbiased " bot is biased as fuck is why.
Send in the Swedish UN Peacekeepers.
Let’s see how the Israeli’s cope with Peacekeepers that have decentralised command and don’t have to wait for someone at the home to green light to fight back.
Impunity is the word that comes to mind.
The German chancellor just announced today that they will send more weapons to Israel, as now would be the time to be steadfast by their side. The foreign minister gave some bullshit of “the weapons need to be used in accordance with international law” veil…
I am so tired of this country proudly descending into the worst of its past.
Holocausting still gives German Politicians hard-ons.
Lemme guess, UNIFIL is Hamas? /s

They have been constantly saying UN is hamas, so probably will be their excuse
“Everything I don’t like is
communismHAMAS!”I’m sure the US government will come up with some brilliant reason why this doesn’t constitute a war crime and why it is not necessary for the US to actually do literally anything about it.
this is pathetic, fuck joe biden for doing next to nothing, he will be forever known for letting 100,000+ palestinians be murdered in front of his eyes as he sat there and did nothing to stop it.
He sent billions in weapons to make it happen.
Including 2000lb bombs, which the US Military refuses to use because the collateral damage is so massive and which Israel used in residential areas in both Gaza and Lebanon.
The useful idiots that have been going around for months defending Biden whilst he was sending Israel some of the worst conventional weapons the US has in the full knowledge that they would use them and with his own military advisors telling him how much collateral damage they cause, have a lot of blood on their hands for enabling this.
So pissed at the Swiss government selling weapons to Israel but blocking weapons to Ukraine because of “neutrality issues”.
Well the swiss famously aren’t neutral on Palestine, they specifically and openly refuse to recognize Palestine as a state.
As a Swiss person I gotta say the story is more complicated and nuanced, but yeah the right leaning coalition that has lead the country for the past couple decades does not favour recognising Palestianian Statehood “at this state in time”. Although one of the major four parties who makes up the coalition does (the second largest party in the country).
Most political intrigue is more complicated than that, in this case though the nuance doesn’t at all change my statement or my point.
Can’t wait for the Times of Israel headline:
So they knew it was the UN that they were attacking? What the fuck.
After all what they have been doing for decades, people should really not wonder about anything anymore.
