Israeli forces shoot at UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, wounding two - eviltoast

Two UN peacekeepers in Lebanon have been wounded by Israeli fire, the mission said on Thursday, as Israel’s military ground operations in the country continued.

In a statement, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) said two of its members were wounded after a Merkava tank fired towards an observation tower at Unifil headquarters in Naqoura, “directly hitting it and causing them to fall”.

“[Israeli] soldiers also fired on UN position (UNP) 1-31 in Labbouneh, hitting the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering, and damaging vehicles and a communications system,” said the peacekeeping mission.

“An IDF drone was observed flying inside the UN position up to the bunker entrance.”

Israeli attacks in Lebanon over the past month, including a bombing campaign and ground invasion, have killed over 1,200 people and displaced one million.

    That’s not how our wars are fought now. We are already in a war with China over the global economy. We are so dependent on them that they could cripple us at the snap of a finger.

    Go gander around your home and look at the labels on all of your products, even the ones designed in the US were made in China (your phone and computer)
