BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Israeli forces fired on two positions used by U.N. peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on Thursday and at another one on Wednesday, the U.N. force said, as Israel pressed its assault on Hezbollah and told Lebanese civilians not to return to homes in the south.

The UNIFIL force said two of its peacekeepers were injured in one of the incidents, when an Israeli tank fired at an observation tower at the force’s main headquarters in Naqoura, hitting the tower and causing them to fall. There were no casualties in the other two incidents, a U.N. source said.

        Including 2000lb bombs, which the US Military refuses to use because the collateral damage is so massive and which Israel used in residential areas in both Gaza and Lebanon.

        The useful idiots that have been going around for months defending Biden whilst he was sending Israel some of the worst conventional weapons the US has in the full knowledge that they would use them and with his own military advisors telling him how much collateral damage they cause, have a lot of blood on their hands for enabling this.

    So pissed at the Swiss government selling weapons to Israel but blocking weapons to Ukraine because of “neutrality issues”.

      Well the swiss famously aren’t neutral on Palestine, they specifically and openly refuse to recognize Palestine as a state.

        Yeah the right leaning coalition that has lead the country for the past couple decades does not favour recognising Palestianian Statehood “at this state in time”. Although one of the major four parties who makes up the coalition does (the second largest party in the country).
