UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon are in the crosshairs of Israel’s war on Hezbollah

BEIRUT (AP) — The United Nations peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon says Israeli tanks “forcibly entered” one of their positions, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demands that they leave the area. International criticism is growing after Israeli forces have repeatedly fired on U.N. peacekeepers since the start of its ground operation in Lebanon. Five peacekeepers have been wounded in recent days, most of the injuries blamed on Israeli forces. As Israel escalates its ground invasion against Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon, the 10,000-strong peacekeeping force is increasingly in the crosshairs.
