Because they found fortified, well-armed Hezbollah underground bunkers just meters from UNIFIL post.
Hezbollah built military forts to attack Israeli communities right under the noses of UNIFIL, which has utterly failed its mandate for nearly two decades.
For such a huge event “2 tanks breaking the gates and injuring 15 UN people” the article is very thin on details… Why? What did they do once they entered? Did they stay?

It’s clear that Israel is making calculated gestures to pressure the UN to withdraw the peacekeepers.
In terms of public perception Israel doesn’t have much to lose anyway because they are hated by most of the world anyway.

These guys are useless, I have just seen a video showing an entrance shaft to a tunnel placed just a few meters away from a UNIFIL post, they clearly turned a blind eye, were afraid of coflict with Hizbullah and gave them free reign in the south, just leave instead of being a sitting duck after helping to cause this conflict.

Israel genuinely doesn’t give a shit about peacekeeping.
UN staff participated in the Oct 7 atrocities, UN facilities hosted Hamas command centres and the UN dragged its feet on admitting that there was horrific sexual violence involved in Oct 7. What assurances do we have that anything UN-related in that region hasn’t been captured by terrorist entities and isn’t secretly helping Iran?
If they’re peacekeepers FR, they need to move out until the war that Iran started is over. UN can no longer be trusted.
> The allegation contained in a UNIFIL statement came after the Israeli prime minister called for the removal of the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon.
> Earlier, the UN force accused Israeli soldiers of deliberately targeting the UNIFIL mission's Naqoura base, leaving many peacekeepers injured.
These “peace keepers” are nothing more than TERRORISTS enablers.
For almost two decades they did NOTHING but enable and provide cover for Hizbollah terrorists to arm themselves to the teeth.
Where were they for the past 12 months while Hizbollah TERRORISTS have been firing on Israeli civilians ?
Just today, over 115 rockets fired on Israeli civilians !
Israel asked the UN to evacuate a while back. It is now 100% Gutierrez’s responsibility.

It’s clear israel has invested heavily in social media bots (probably even from gpt2 days). You are definitely winning the reddit battle guys but losing heavily the larger war of perception across the world. This is not good for Israel as a country in the long term.

Lebanese army has withdrawn from its positions, why can’t UNIFIL too?
Why do they insist on staying in an active war zone of a war that’s not theirs? It makes no sense.

Why have UN peace keepers been allowing a foreign guerilla terrorist army (Hezbollah) to set up camp in this area to begin with?

Israel is nudging the UN to withdraw our peacekeepers. Frankly if Russia were doing the same NATO would be nudging Israel back.

UNIFIL is sitting right next to the hezbollah compounds. Compounds that could not exist if UNIFIL had done the bare minimum of what they were sent to do.
Honest question: WTF has UNIFIL been doing all these years?

How long until we find out that UNIFIL is loaded with hezbollah terrorists, the same way we found out that UNWRA is loaded with Hamas terrorists?

>Soon after the tanks left, shells exploded 100 metres away, releasing smoke which blew across the base and sickened U.N. personnel, **causing 15 to require treatment despite wearing gas masks, it said. It did not say who fired the shells** or what sort of toxic substance it suspected.

Reading between the lines seems to indicate that Hezbollah fired some sort of shells with a toxic/chemical substance that can injure people wearing gas masks. If Israel did it they surely would of called them out like the other two times. It was called in a previous tank position too.

Didn’t they just promise to stop doing this?
Another aggression from IDF.

They were told to evacuate.
