A Hezbollah tunnel has been found 100 metres from a United Nations peacekeeper base in Lebanon, raising questions about how the UN could be unaware of it and why UN troops are refusing to evacuate. The Telegraph has the story.
High up on the dry brush hills that rise steadily from the Israeli border, the UN watchtower surveys southern Lebanon and the plains below as far as the eye can see.
But no more than 100 metres from the blast walls below the tower, a rusty metal trapdoor swings open to reveal a tunnel cut deep into the rock.
This, the Israeli military says, is the entrance to a Hezbollah attack position.
It is one of two within a stone’s throw of a UN base where international soldiers have for years rotated in and out to prevent another war breaking out.
The tunnels were shown to the Telegraph by Israeli troops on Sunday before the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, ordered the UN to withdraw “immediately”.
His demand came as Israeli tanks rammed through the gates of a UN base – and a few days after UN soldiers were injured by IDF tank rounds.
The “most important part is to see the proximity to the UN. It’s right here”, an Israeli soldier told this newspaper as he stood over the tunnel entrance.
“To build a tunnel like this you need a lot of equipment. You can’t hide it. It’s very odd to us that the UN didn’t see these activities,” General Yiftach, whose division now controls the area, added.
The Telegraph, the first British newspaper to enter southern Lebanon from Israel, was taken to the tunnel in an armoured vehicle. …
After a string of incidents in the past two days which have seen Unifil peacekeepers once again coming under fire, the IDF’s spokesman, Nadav Shoshani, said more than 24 attacks had been carried out by Hezbollah firing missiles near Unifil posts, “in some cases a few dozen metres away”.
“Hezbollah has been purposefully locating their weapons in areas such as near Unifil bases,” Mr. Shoshani told reporters. Today, 25 soldiers were injured in a “planned Hezbollah attack in very close proximity” to a Unifil post where Hezbollah is known to operate.
According to the IDF, the peacekeepers were already in shelters after being notified.
“Hezbollah has chosen to bring the battlefield near Unifil posts… a pattern Hezbollah operates,” Mr Shoshani added, saying Hezbollah wants to “drag Unifil into the line of fire”.

Excellent video. And when I gave you a thumbs-up, you were given a thumbs-down: one wonders if this is accidental or not.
Another good (6-minute) video is this one from Five Pillars, with Ilan Pappé and an Israeli film producer I did not know: https://5pillarsuk.com/2024/10/07/october-7-and-the-end-of-zionism/.
These are the films that need to be shown, not the standard government nonsense or pure Israeli propaganda such as the article written above.
Yep, it’s all out there if you care to find it.. We all know (or should know) the msm is last place to find any resemblance of truth…
But all you get off this shower of msm gullible idiots is retorts like.. “Oh that was on YouTube” so has zero credibility etc.. Thinking what’s more important the content or what platform it’s on… It’s unbelievable moronic ..
It’s like the imbeciles that swear that only “peer reviewed” documents have any credibility… We saw this through the scandemic, with these sort of folks don’t have the sense to see the “peer” was in the pockets of the Pharmas…
This lot don’t have the inclination nor intelligence to be “Sceptic”.. Couldn’t see the big picture if it was in front of their faces..
And those british politicians on the video, Lammy, Starmer et al who are backing Israeli genocide have all had backhanders from the Isreali lobby.. Tens of thousands
And all you numpties are agreeing with the corruption or don’t believe it because you’ve not seen it on the telly…
So the IDF has already attacked UN peace keeping forces with tanks and is now looking for some sort of justification for having done so, or do I interpret that incorrectly? Of course, Israel is just defending itself … (from peace keepers).
Good.
An impressive number of disagreements but only one ambiguous explanation.
Israel was originally desperate to join UN, presumably to gain recognition for the fledgling state. A condition for doing so was that it committed itself to UN General Assembly Resolution 194, which included an unconditional call for Palestinian refugees to be allowed to return to their homes or be given appropriate compensation. A day after the protocol was signed in May 1949, Israel was admitted to the UN and immediately retracted from its commitment to the protocol. (Source: Ilan Pappé.)
And since then Israel has never been particularly bothered about keeping promises, e.g. a two-state solution. But that Israel decides to bombard UN peace-keeping forces is pretty extreme. Still, when you are enjoying spraying death and destruction, I suppose it is difficult to stop. Purely in self-defence, of course …
Hezbollah have every right to be in their own country defending it from the Israeli foreign invaders.
The UN are there as peacekeepers which Israel have already attacked.
Um, the country is called ‘Lebanon’. It belongs to the Lebanese. Hezbollah are unwelcome Iran-backed invaders who have inflicted misery and impoverishment on the Lebanese reducing the country to failed state status.
Hezbollah are the main defending army of Lebanon.
Hezbollah has ministers in government and lawmakers in parliament and have strong support within the country.
What BBC Pamphlets have you been eating too many of? What complete and utter nonsense.
The BBC is pro Israel and is awful for news as it is part of the “establishment” and full of lies, propaganda and omissions of the truth.
Oh yea… That’s right, because the Lebanese don’t at all mind Israel moving north and swallowing up southern lands belonging to Lebanon..
Now go back to the BBC and regurgitate some more bs
And Israel has every right to being in Lebanon defending their Country from continuous rocket bombardment fired by Hezbollocks.
Israel was not “invading” Lebanon until a few weeks ago, but Hezbollocks was bombing Israel prior.
I suppose the British and Americans and Russians had no right invading Germany in 1944/45 and the Germans had every right defending their Country from foreign invaders. And all those innocent German civilians who were killed too.
Well, Israel does have a history of invading Lebanon and the last time it was Hezbollah who freed the country from the unwelcome Israelis.
Do you seriously think people support having their homes bombed by the Israelis? Or do you think they would be very happy for anyone to appropriately react to the destruction Israel is once again sowing?
If I had a home where one of my rooms contained missiles supplied by Iran and put there by Hizballah I would be telling this Iranian organisation to please move their hardware somewhere that does not make my house likely to be destroyed by a country that would quite like not to be bombarded by Hizballah at the behest of the mad mullahs.
So all those houses and apartments and high-rise residences destroyed by Israel, whether in Gaza, the West Bank or Lebanon, were all filled with missiles aimed at Israel, you think? That is hardly serious.
The Israelis are out to kill: all Arabs, whether Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iranians, they do not care; whether male, female or child, they do not care. And they are unconditionally supported by the US and some European governments – incredible but what else can we expect from our marvellous leaders?
Israel has invaded Lebanon six times in the past 50 years.
But always withdrawn when they accomplished their aims.
And what were their aims apart from mass destruction?
In 2006 Hezbollah’s military defeat of Israel was decisive.
Israel were forced out and accepted a ceasefire.

The UN is an institution – a big bag of pus and corruption – which cannot be aware of anything lacking, eyes, ears, brain.
The people employed in it can be aware. So-called peacekeepers are from the ‘developing’ nations who can’t keep peace in their own Countries and are all indoctrinated in their hatreds of colonials, Whites, civilised people, Western nations and especially the Jews.
Why anyone is surprised is the puzzle.
The Telegraph report cited UNIFIL as being primarily Irish and Italian forces.
