Hezbollah tunnels 100 meter van een Unifil basis.
Unifil, met als missie om militaire activiteit in die zone tegen te gaan, liet gewoon begaan.
Gekker moet het toch ook niet worden.
Als ze hun mandaat niet doen, dan liggen ze daar inderdaad gewoon te snurken en kunnen ze beter even uit de weg gaan.
"LABBOUNEH, Lebanon—On a forested mountainside near the border between Israel and Lebanon, two tunnel shafts descend dozens of feet into the rocky earth.
Around 300 feet away, the blue United Nations flag waved atop a peacekeeping observation post.
The Israeli military took a group of reporters into Lebanon on Sunday to see the shafts, which it said were among hundreds of tunnel entrances and underground bunkers used by Hezbollah militants to store weapons and hide fighters west of the Lebanese village of Labbouneh.
Israel has faced criticism from the U.N. and European capitals for injuries to peacekeepers as Israeli forces engage in a ground offensive against Hezbollah. U.N. personnel have been wounded and compounds have been damaged, according to the U.N.
Israeli officers said the presence of the tunnels was evidence that Hezbollah had built military infrastructure around U.N. and civilian settlements, using them as cover.
They also said that the U
.N. peacekeepers, who are supposed to monitor and prevent militant activities along the border, weren’t doing their job."
"Israeli officers told reporters that international peacekeepers based at the U.N. site should have heard or seen Hezbollah drilling into the mountainside to dig the tunnels. "
"
Hezbollah didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the tunnel shafts and the allegations that it places itself near U.N. positions. "
"Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the U.N.’s head of peacekeeping, said last week that the U.N. force had
highlighted concerns about Hezbollah stationing its forces near U.N. positions and potentially drawing fire from Israel. Now, he said, Israeli forces are doing the same. "
