I wonder now just how big a mistake Israel has committed in it's incidents with UN peace keepers who have been an ever present force in Lebanon since '77 (I think). The UN probably needs to put it's foot down and force Israel to keep out of areas where it's troops are stationed, but I think the real clash will come if Israeli forces accidentally shoot one dead & I don't think Netanyanhu will likely apologise for it happening as he probably feels the UN are "standing in the way of Israeli forces offensives". Getting the UN to agree to move forces is a different thing altogether in country of Lebanon's size probably is a logistical nightmare for the UN in itself.

With Israel now having killed the leader of Heabollah we must wonder if Iran will strike back harder in retaliation to his death, or are we likely to see an end in sight to Israel's wars in both Gaza & Lebanon. I do get the feeling Netanyahou by by any stretch isn't likely to come out iof this smelling of roses.
