I feel the headline is way too generous to Israel. It makes it sound like they weren’t targeted in retaliation to the extension of their withdrawal date, which they were absolutely targeted over.

“One grenade impacted within 20 metres and three within approximately 100 metres of UN personnel and vehicles,” the mission reported

“Any actions endangering UN peacekeepers and assets, and interference with their mandated tasks are unacceptable and a serious violation of Resolution 1701 and international law,” Unifil said.

The attack came days after the Security Council voted unanimously to extend Unifil’s mandate “one final time”, setting 2027 as the deadline for its withdrawal.
