Their reasonings isn’t making the slightest sense at all, so unless the article forgot to mention something entirely, this is rediculous.

    The article mentions:

    The Israeli military took foreign journalists into southern Lebanon on Sunday and showed them a Hezbollah tunnel shaft that was less than 200 metres away (650 feet) from a UNIFIL position, as well as weapon stashes that the troops found. Brigadier General Yiftach Norkin said the tunnels had been built a few years ago. “We are actually standing in a military base of Hezbollah very close to the to the U.N.,” Norkin said, pointing to the shaft’s trapdoor in an area covered by undergrowth and overlooked by a U.N. observation post.

    You might or might not believe their claims or evidence here, but the reasoning seems to be that Hezbollah is utilising UNIFIL as shield

      That would maybe make sense.

      Yeah I think the claim might be true, but still there are probably ways to not hit a UN base of fixed location while carrying out an offensive.

      This detail wasn’t here this morning, the article is gradually edited as more info surfaced. See the url for the original title.

        That would explain the confusion. Yeah I imagine there could be other approaches to this than hitting the base
