UN peacekeepers ignored Hezbollah

UN peacekeeping troops failing Israel as Hezbollah creates terror tunnels right under their noses


The world’s eyes are once again focused on the south of Lebanon, as the Israel Defense Forces continue their war against Hezbollah.

The IDF took me into Lebanon Saturday to see firsthand some of what they have already found.

The timing was important because the Israelis this week got caught in a battle of more than words with the United Nations “peacekeeping force” in the area.

Five UN force members have been wounded in recent days. The IDF has taken responsibility for several of these accidental cases, although two days ago it was Hezbollah that hit a UN peacekeeper.

Still, the fact is that ever since the 2006 war here ended, the UN’s peacekeeping force has been not just useless but worse than useless.

They were meant to be here to ensure that peace was kept on this tinderbox of a border. But for the past year they have sat useless as Hezbollah has fired tens of thousands of rockets from southern Lebanon into Israel.
