“At around 4:30 a.m., while peacekeepers were in shelters, two IDF Merkava tanks destroyed the position’s main gate and forcibly entered the position.
…
In addition to its position being breached, UNIFIL also said 15 of its soldiers are receiving treatment after another incident in the same area.
“At around 6:40 a.m., peacekeepers at the same position reported the firing of several rounds 100 metres north, which emitted smoke. Despite putting on protective masks, fifteen peacekeepers suffered effects, including skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions, after the smoke entered the camp,” the statement read, without indicating who had fired the rounds.
Separately, Al Jazeera reports:
The United Nations says Israeli tanks burst through the gates of its peacekeeping force base in southern Lebanon after three platoons of Israeli soldiers crossed the Blue Line.
The UN peacekeepers said in a statement at 4:30am (01:30 GMT), two Israeli army Merkava tanks “destroyed” their main gate and “forcibly entered the position” while peacekeepers were asleep.
“The tanks left about 45 minutes later after UNIFIL protested through our liaison mechanism, saying [the Israeli military] presence was putting peacekeepers in danger,” it said.
At 6:40am (03:40 GMT), peacekeepers reported several rounds being fired about 100 metres (328 feet) north of their position in what appeared to be an attack with some sort of chemical agent.
“Despite putting on protective masks, 15 peacekeepers suffered effects including skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions after the smoke entered the camp. The peacekeepers are receiving treatment.”
Since the second article’s headline was more descriptive, I used it for this post’s title.
Wait til the American Nazi Party takes power. Then it’ll be WW2++. Not only will they facilitate the genocide in Gaza, I fully expect them to supply Israel with WMDs to use against Lebanon and Iran. I also expect protesters to be shot and/or imprisoned indefinitely
Which American Nazi party? As it stands there is two parties fully supporting this genocidal assault on the global order, and humanitarian law. There is two major parties that keep pledging support to Israel and arming it more and more. There is two major parties in the US, who want to see as many Arabs killed as possible. Just that the one party doesn’t say the quiet part out loud.
Also Israel already has about a hundred nukes.
100%. People are blinded by the facade that is the democratic party. Who’s been funneling billions upon billions to Israel since the start of this genocide? Both parties are fucking Nazis. The difference is one coats their shit with chocolate and the other just gives you shit on a plate.
The US has, what, 5 parties all running right now on a platform to end the genocide?
Technically yes, but the two largest want to end the genocide by continuing it to its final solution.

Is this what an out of control madman looks like?
This is what happens when you give a genocidal psychopath a blank check for protection from the most powerful military on the planet.
Nah, this is what a rabid dog looks like
Perhaps giving them more weapons will help to de-escalate things?
Sounds like they are unable to “keep peace” and need to return fire. Otherwise, what’s the point of existing there as UN peacekeepers?

Let me be clear. I am not calling for violence against any living creature. I am calling for the destruction of the IDF and Likud as organizations. They cannot be allowed to continue committing genocide. I am calling for self-defense in preservation of life.
Israel doing war crimes? I’m shocked. Good thing there’s nothing more that America: World Police loves than stopping war crimes. I’m sure they get right on this and invade Israel, since they’re doing far more and far worsewar crimes than any nation the US has invaded in the last 79 years.
I think I saw a movie about that, they ended up shooting down the Eiffel tower or something /s
The reference has already been made, don’t cringe it out
The US does proxy wars in their region so they can profit off it without loosing men. If anything, they’ll just sell M16s to Palestinians
Hamas is already strapped to the gills with AR pattern assault rifles thanks to captured, abandoned, unsecured, and sold IDF stockpiles along with other purchases, but you’re absolutely right.
With any luck, a free Palestine will get a Taliban sized plate of war materiel leftovers once the settlers go the way of Rhodesia.
Well, the US is phasing out AR rifles in favour of German HK rifles anyway, so they have to put those stockpiles somewhere.
does proxy wars
is ‘doing’ a proxy war like ‘doing’ lunch?
More like cutting the grass
