IDF soldiers are currently a few hundred metres from camp UN-652 where UNIFIL Irish troops are stationed.

    What are UN “peacekeepers” even doing? I haven’t heard anything about them trying to keep peace in the region.

        I appreciate that, but that’s more of a mission guideline than what they’re actually doing right now on the ground.

      Guarding the border for israel normally with a stolen buffer zone in Lebanon under the guise of keeping both parties out. In reality it means Hezbollah has to operate stealthily close to the border.

      But they’re rather inconvenient now that israel wants to invade Lebanon.
