ge network of Hezbollah attack tunnels near Israel’s border was hardly a secret, even if the scale of the network would surprise the Israeli military. In December 2018-January 2019, the IDF first uncovered cross-border tunnels all in UNIFIL’s area of operation. The tunnels were cut into the rocky terrain of south Lebanon, and would have required the movement of a tremendous amount of earth. Yet the U.N. force in the area somehow heard nothing, saw nothing, and until Israel uncovered the tunnels, said nothing. UNIFIL only bestirred itself to comment when the IDF moved in to dismantle Hezbollah’s infrastructure—not to denounce the terror organization for blatantly abusing its hospitality and violating its mandate, but by refusing to withdraw from its positions adjacent to the terror group’s fortifications in order to keep Israel from blowing them up….
Recently captured Hezbollah fighters have reportedly told Israeli interrogators that the group had bribed UNIFIL personnel to use their positions. Moreover, Hezbollah allegedly took control of UNIFIL cameras installed in their positions near the border and used them to collect intelligence on Israel troop placements and movements inside Israel.
It's almost as though the UN organisations tasked with keeping the peace are doing all they can to aid the enemies of Israel. Who'd have thought?
