| UN-run post caught in IDF-Hizbullah crossfire |
| 2006-07-22 |
| A UN-run observation post near the border was struck during fighting between Israel and Hizbullah operatives on Friday, while Israel pushed ahead with air strikes on Lebanon and warned people in the south to flee as it prepared for a possible ground invasion on Friday. The IDF said Hizbullah rockets hit the UN post near Zar'it, but a UN officer said it was an artillery shell fired by the IDF. The facility was severely damaged, but nobody was injured as the Ghanian troops manning the post were inside bomb shelters at the time of the strike, the UN official said. |

| #8 I asked yesterday what Ghana gives the planet. Now I know. Chocolate, incompetent UN Secretary Generals, and ineffective UN observers. |

| #3 Nice to observe the UN pisskeeper/observers earn their keeps on rare occasion when they simply couldn't turn tail fast enough as is their operational modus operandi. African troops, eh? They should be more concerned with their pay, probably at least quadruple regular pay at home....pointless to earn that much and be unable to spend it afterwards. How much did/can they observe in a bunker anyway? Send the shell/rocket fragnemts for analysis before blathering claims. |

| #2 but a UN officer said it was an artillery shell fired by the IDF As we all know, these guys are very observant. Probably the same team that missed the Israeli getting abducted 300m from their position. :-) |
