Sorry for the poor links to Al Jazeera’s live page.

Lebanon’s National News Agency is reporting that several Sri Lankan peacekeepers have been injured in another Israeli attack targeting the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) headquarters in southern Lebanon.

The report said an Israeli Merkava tank targeted one of UNIFIL’s observation towers on the main road connecting Tyre to Naqoura, in front of a Lebanese Army checkpoint, injuring the Sri Lankan contingent stationed there.

It said Israeli artillery fired a shell that struck the main entrance of the UNIFIL command centre in Naqoura, causing damage to the site.

To clarify, after wounding two Indonesian UN peacekeepers yesterday, Israel has attacked the UN again injuring Sri Lankan UN peacekeepers.

    It was a tank firing an artillery shell…

    It’s not like they can call in an airstrike bro.

    They’re there because if a country fires on them, it’s supposed to mean a shit ton of sanctions and loss of aid and especially arms sales.

    The problem is Biden has said repeatedly for decades that he’ll never ever lessen his support for Israel under any situation.

    And Bibi is a big enough dick to take advantage of that.

    Did you ever watch The Good Place? It’s like the part that has the nicest guy in the world, and a psychopath kid who takes advantage of it.
