Italy's defence ministry said Tuesday that the Hezbollah group staged an attack on a UN peacekeeping base in Lebanon that it initially blamed on Israel.

"Hezbollah was responsible for the attack," the source told AFP.

"Defence Minister Guido Crosetto had said in Brussels that Israeli forces staged the new attack on the UN base in the Lebanese town of Chamaa. But a defence ministry source said that Crosetto only "had partial information" when he spoke."

A unnamed and unknown defence minister said the following line and the actual defence minister Crosetto hasn't changed his stance as of yet.

Hezbollah constantly attacks UN in Lebanon. They have a long, documented history of it. It is more than absurd that UN forces allow it so frequently without once trying to raise any resolutions.

Hezbollah says they have orders not to attack near UNFIL positions and we have literal photographs of IDF tanks using UNFIL personnel like human shields.

I love how "Hezbollah says" is a reputable source in your eyes

Just like how they said they didn't hit majdal shames, right?

There are no photos of that in your article nor does it say they have photos. You are literally just believing them at their word in regards to article that literally says Hezbollah attacked a UN base lol.

UNIFIL says rocket attack likely fired by Hezbollah or ‘affiliated group’ hit its headquarters in Naqoura.

Hezbollah fired rockets on November 19 that hit and damaged a UNIFIL post

There were 6 incidents of Hezbollah targeting UNIFIL positions and 62 incidents where Hezbollah fired their rockets from the close proximity of UN positions towards Israel.

On 25 July, Hezbollah opened fire on a UNIFIL convoy, forcing it to retreat.

On 6 August, a Hezbollah rocket hit the headquarters of the Chinese UNIFIL contingent, injuring three Chinese peacekeepers.

Fist link points to unknown people firing, no injuries.

Second link has no credible Billy because it’s the IDF saying it

Third link opens with this:

Most notably on 25 July 2006, four unarmed United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) peacekeepers were killed during an Israeli air strike on a UN observation post in southern Lebanon.

Yes, the IDF kills UNTSO soldiers and its Hezbollah’s fault.

Really, it’s Israel that is targeting UNIFIL regularly.

First link points to known people firing

No it doesn’t. It says:

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) says eight of its peacekeepers were wounded after a rocket, likely fired by Hezbollah or an affiliated group, hit its headquarters in southern Lebanon.

UNIFIL has also said that Hezbollah has hit them other times.

https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel-at-war/artc-unifil-positions-hit-by-hezbollah-rocket-attacks

Are you saying UNIFIL isn’t to be trusted when they say they were bit by Hezbollah rockets?

It points to Hezbollah or an affiliated group attacking a headquarters. Suddenly disqualifying attacks because no one was hurt is an insane level of mental gymnastics but also it is wrong, 8 people were wounded you are straight up lying lmao.

Second link has no credible Billy

Holy shit learn to spell lmao. Discounting all IDF statements is also a wild level of mental gymnastics, but I shouldn't be surprised when you refuse to process that 8 people were wounded in the first link. Also in that second link which you obviously didn't read, UNFIL agrees with the IDF they say:

UNIFIL largely agreed with this, saying the rocket was “fired most likely by non-state actors within Lebanon.”

God I am embarassed for you and how idiotic you are.

Third link opens with this:

Yeah there is a world of different between peacekeepers being killed during an accidental airstrike in a war and an intentional attack. You left out this part you disingenious POS:

Israel later stated that the attack was an error due to the incorrect identification of the UN position as a militant enemy post.

God you are dumb.

Yes, the IDF kills UNTSO soldiers and its Hezbollah’s fault.

So you are once again going to ignore:

There were 6 incidents of Hezbollah targeting UNIFIL positions and 62 incidents where Hezbollah fired their rockets from the close proximity of UN positions towards Israel.

On 25 July, Hezbollah opened fire on a UNIFIL convoy, forcing it to retreat.

On 6 August, a Hezbollah rocket hit the headquarters of the Chinese UNIFIL contingent, injuring three Chinese peacekeepers.

Do you have no integrity whatsoever?

But a defence ministry source said that Crosetto only "had partial information" when he spoke.

Italy Says Hezbollah Staged UN Base Attack It Had Blamed On Israel

Italy's defence ministry said Tuesday that the Hezbollah group staged an attack on a UN peacekeeping base in Lebanon that it initially blamed on Israel.

Defence Minister Guido Crosetto had said in Brussels that Israeli forces staged the new attack on the UN base in the Lebanese town of Chamaa. But a defence ministry source said that Crosetto only "had partial information" when he spoke.

"Hezbollah was responsible for the attack," the source told AFP.

The Italian defence ministry initially reported that eight rockets hit UNIFIL's base where an Italian contingent was located, without attributing responsibility for the fire.

The strikes hit areas where no soldiers were present, it added and no serious injuries were reported.

Italy is the biggest European contributor to the UNIFIL force that has complained of increasing attacks since Israel started its campaign targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon.

UNIFIL, currently with more than 9,300 troops, has been stationed in southern Lebanon since 1978 and is tasked with monitoring the "Blue Line" of demarcation with Israel.

Italy has some 1,000 troops in the force.
