At least four Israeli soldiers were killed and more than 60 were injured in a Hezbollah drone attack in central-northern Israel, according to first responders and the Israeli military. Follow for live news updates.

“At around 4:30 a.m., while peacekeepers were in shelters, two IDF Merkava tanks destroyed the position’s main gate and forcibly entered the position.

…

In addition to its position being breached, UNIFIL also said 15 of its soldiers are receiving treatment after another incident in the same area.

“At around 6:40 a.m., peacekeepers at the same position reported the firing of several rounds 100 metres north, which emitted smoke. Despite putting on protective masks, fifteen peacekeepers suffered effects, including skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions, after the smoke entered the camp,” the statement read, without indicating who had fired the rounds.

Separately, Al Jazeera reports:

The United Nations says Israeli tanks burst through the gates of its peacekeeping force base in southern Lebanon after three platoons of Israeli soldiers crossed the Blue Line.

The UN peacekeepers said in a statement at 4:30am (01:30 GMT), two Israeli army Merkava tanks “destroyed” their main gate and “forcibly entered the position” while peacekeepers were asleep.

“The tanks left about 45 minutes later after UNIFIL protested through our liaison mechanism, saying [the Israeli military] presence was putting peacekeepers in danger,” it said.

At 6:40am (03:40 GMT), peacekeepers reported several rounds being fired about 100 metres (328 feet) north of their position in what appeared to be an attack with some sort of chemical agent.

“Despite putting on protective masks, 15 peacekeepers suffered effects including skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions after the smoke entered the camp. The peacekeepers are receiving treatment.”

Since the second article’s headline was more descriptive, I used it for this post’s title.

    Sounds like they are unable to “keep peace” and need to return fire. Otherwise, what’s the point of existing there as UN peacekeepers?

    Wait til the American Nazi Party takes power. Then it’ll be WW2++. Not only will they facilitate the genocide in Gaza, I fully expect them to supply Israel with WMDs to use against Lebanon and Iran. I also expect protesters to be shot and/or imprisoned indefinitely

      Which American Nazi party? As it stands there is two parties fully supporting this genocidal assault on the global order, and humanitarian law. There is two major parties that keep pledging support to Israel and arming it more and more. There is two major parties in the US, who want to see as many Arabs killed as possible. Just that the one party doesn’t say the quiet part out loud.

      Also Israel already has about a hundred nukes.

        100%. People are blinded by the facade that is the democratic party. Who’s been funneling billions upon billions to Israel since the start of this genocide? Both parties are fucking Nazis. The difference is one coats their shit with chocolate and the other just gives you shit on a plate.
