Israel Says UN Peacekeepers in Lebanon Are Serving as Hezbollah’s Human Shields

Prof. Kobi Michael: UNIFIL has allowed Hezbollah to fortify itself. It builds its structures beneath the eyes of UNIFIL inspectors, beneath U.N. posts. They’re an obstacle from Israel’s point of view.
Hezbollah can launch their rockets and operate military compounds knowing Israel has difficulty attacking [them] because of their closeness to UNIFIL posts.Guterres, the U.N. secretary-general, won’t pull out UNIFIL even temporarily to allow the IDF to “clean” the area.
To the contrary, he insists on leaving the posts there to prevent the IDF from cleaning the area.
