The UN peacekeeping post hit by Israeli shelling was used by Hezbollah for cover. One of the Canadian peacekeeper killed had recently emailed retired Canadian Major General Lewis Mackenzie about the problem, and Mackenzie discussed this with CBC Radio:
What he was telling us was Hezbollah soldiers were all over his position and the IDF were targeting them. And that’s a favorite trick by people who don’t have representation in the UN. They use the UN as shields knowing that they can’t be punished for it.
Hear the interview at LGF. Meanwhile, this photo published in the Canadian Jewish News shows the UN and Hezbollah positions clearly too close for comfort.
