About 165 Hezbollah rocket launches have landed inside or near United Nations peacekeeping posts in Southern Lebanon during the current war, the Israel Defense Forces said on Sunday.

The military accused the Iranian terror proxy of systematically violating international law and endangering U.N. personnel.

The IDF said it continues to coordinate with the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) operating in the region.

On Friday, Israel’s military said that it identified a launch by Hezbollah that struck a UNIFIL post in the Al-Aadaissah area of Southern Lebanon.

As a result of the fire, three U.N. personnel were injured, two of them seriously.

“A review of the launch trajectory clearly indicates that the fire was carried out by Hezbollah,” the IDF said.

“We tried to make it clear to them that this is a memorial that was built for those who died in a horrible terrorist attack,” Lawrence Puccini told JNS.
Three other soldiers were lightly wounded when the military vehicle overturned.
Sophie Shabot experienced “verbal harassment, being chased, being pushed and shoved, being spat on, yelled at, blocked from entering a building,” according to her lawyer.
“It’s actually hard to find a sentence in Mamdani’s post that isn’t a lie,” Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter said, of the New York City mayor.
