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?

The UN has zero power to do anything. The UN draws its legitimacy from the players sitting at the big boy table (UNSC). Claiming the UN has any intrinsic power is like inviting Jay-Z to your house and claiming you're a millionaire.

If they don't have any power they are harmless. Why do people get so angry at the UN then?

If no government thinks they are annoying, even the ones you think are based and trad or based and liberal, surely you are the one whose opinion is annoying

I have no idea how you could possibly come to the conclusion no government finds the UN annoying.
