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.

Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said: “After years in which sites were neglected or looted, Israel is making historical corrections.”
Using this phrase against Israel is no less absurd than labeling sport-hooliganism and violence at mass demonstrations in the West as officially sponsored, government-sanctioned violence.
“Nearly eight years after the shooting, our gratitude and admiration for the heroic bravery and selfless dedication of the first responders that day endures,” said U.S. Attorney Troy Rivetti.
Yitzhak Ben-Hebron escaped Arab riots as a child and later returned to rebuild the Jewish community in the city.
Army Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers III said that future conflicts will require allied special operations forces to integrate quickly and operate with compatible systems.
“The strength and resilience you and your families demonstrate throughout the recovery and rehabilitation process inspire the entire nation of Israel,” the IDF chief said.
