| h/t Gates of Vienna [LegalInsurrection] Israel is in the process of uncovering even more Hezbollah tunnels under the border from Lebanon. A key part of this campaign is to win international diplomatic pressure on Lebanon and Hezbollah. To that end, the Israelis have been filming the new tunnels and insisting that the UN force in Lebanon and the Lebanese government help destroy the tunnels on the Lebanese side.

| #1 That puts them in the diplomatically uncomfortable position of either refusing to act, or having to act against Hezbollah. Well, for most humans that would be an uncomfortable position. All the bodysnatchers at the UN will do is declare the tunnels to be abandoned. |
