I have no reason to doubt this as Italy doesn't have any reason to be biased.
(Note that this doesn't mean Israel hasn't been attacking UNIFIL since it was created. They have suffered 326 dead since 1978, the vast majority to the Israelis just murdering them.)
This is not unprecedented. In 1983 the US Marines were shelled and found out (I mean ffs guys any professional military can do this 
) that it was from 155mm howitzers.
There were two forces in Lebanon that had 155mm howitzers: the US Marines and the Lebanese Army. Exactly the same thing. Someone shoots at you a little bit, we shoot at you a lot. Col. Geraghty warned the government about this, about not getting involved in this inter-Arab shit. Jim Webb, my pick for President in 2016 said the same thing.
@H I'm really fricking sorry if I'm on the side of the Marines.
@sandkwinn I'm sure that your heart bleeds that you couldn't fight for the "secular" factions. Shelling the refugee camps in the War of the Camps. Not like Sabra & Shatila at all.
Fourth Lebanese army soldier killed by Israeli fire in south Lebanon.
They're now up to 41 killed of the army that they're depending on to fight for them. The army whose mission is to fight them. Did it ever occur to these dumbfricks that Hezbollah could leave and not take their ATGMs with them and just leave them for the Lebanese Army?

I was trying to tell Hodor to maybe listen to his fellow Marines.
The part with
@sandkwinn that was to give some balance. I grew up in boomer times before you Russian commie peepeesuckers got us slashing each other's throats, so we had the "Fairness Doctrine". I'm sorry if I still got bad habits from that time.

I'm not Russian. I hail from another member of the Axis of Evil #3 (or maybe #4, I lost count after the Ossetians cucked Georgia).

I have kept my same FRICKING NAME for 7 FRICKING years. And this is hard for you.
Maybe that's a hint that it's Chechnya or Dagestan? I hope it's not Abkhazia because I have very limited knowledge. On my [redacted] site we had someone who was a teacher in Georgia but not there.
There was guy I met who was Volga German. I talked to this November-slur for hours. One of the most fascinating people ever.
Trouble was I don't know how to comfort a guy in a horrible situation. On the Zero line that's not something that males know how to do.
Not a whole lot I can do anymore it seems.
