The useless UNIFIL soldiers failed to prevent massive re-arming of Hezbollah, but shield Hezbollah from Israeli retaliation. At most, UNIFIL limits Hezbollah’s concentration along the border with Israel.
In recent weeks, German and Swedish ships started the battle order procedures when Israel Navy ships approached them. UNIFIL claims the battle order was launched because Israeli ships didn’t announce themselves. Israel Navy is clearly marked and identification presented no problem.
