What is remarkable about the latest Israeli attempts is that their real intentions aren't really to remove the 10k large UNIFIL force from south Lebanon but rather to increase it's duties to home searches and raiding villages without LAF consent

Why am I claiming so? Is simply because Israel actually knows the importance of some of the participants in the UNIFIL forces and their constant Intel gathering on Hezbullah on the behalf of Israel. The latest incident between Hezbullah and the Slovakian force says a lot.

Add to that, the UNIFIL's work is not as much as restricted as much as Hezbullah is simply not working in public and has no weapons on display or recognizable assets that the UNIFIL has the power/rights to confiscate or stop.

And what is ironic is that the IDF is calling the UNIFIL bounded to Hezbullah's restrictions, at the same time when the UNIFIL is unable to stop all the daily Israeli AF violation of Lebanon's airspace, maritime, and land. Imagine the hypocrisy.

What is even more hypocritical is that the IDF has been attcaking Iran that was invited by Syria, a sovereign country, from the airspace of Lebanon, a sovereign, as if it owns the airspace; killing at least 5 civilians this month only including children.

It seems that the aid of ex PM Saad Al Hariri, who is the head of the Lebanese delegation to the UN is pushing the Israeli and American narrative to change the duties of the UNIFIL forces to counter Hezbullah in South Lebanon.
