Here is a sizable UN facility in southern Lebanon near the town of Hanniyeh. You can see "UN" painted on the roof of the main building.
Hezbollah has built a massive rocket launch infrastructure right under the UN's nose - and the UN is silent about it.
The IDF released photos of some of the Hezbollah launch sites from the attack on Sunday. One of them was only 150 meters from the UN facility, and dozens of others were nearby within 500 meters of the UN site.
Hezbollah has built a massive rocket launch infrastructure right under the UN's nose - and the UN is silent about it.
The only press release from UNIFIL and UNSCOL since the attacks was a generic "both sides" statement that did not mention that Hezbollah is using the UN as human shields.
Even though the IDF released this photo and a press release detailing how Hezbollah rocket sites were near various civilian structures, practically no media covered this. Part of the reason is that unless the UN itself makes a statement about the gross violations of UNSC 1701 that these represent, the media isn't interested in IDF statements alone.
But if the UN would complain about the rockets sites under its nose, it would look bad.
So no one reports this.
