In a statement released late on Sunday, the Israeli military said a Merkava tank had been trying to evacuate injured soldiers and had backed into the Unifil post accidentally.
Smells like bullshit to me.
“The time has come for you to withdraw Unifil from Hezbollah strongholds and from the combat zones,” he said. “The IDF has requested this repeatedly and has met with repeated refusal, which has the effect of providing Hezbollah terrorists with human shields.”
Where have I heard about those human shields before? It seems everyone Israel decides to kill becomes a victim of being a human shield...
“The secretary-general reiterates that UNIFIL personnel and its premises must never be targeted. Attacks against peacekeepers are in breach of international law, including international humanitarian law. They may constitute a war crime,” he said.
Terrorist state of Israel doesn't seem to care. And the Western world doesn't have the balls to do anything about it.
Later on Sunday, the Pentagon confirmed that the US would send a sophisticated anti-missile system known as Thaad and operator troops to Israel <...>
And the first step of deploying US troops on the ground is complete.
