War, this is what is behind Israel’s attack on UNIFIL in Lebanon
Israel yesterday he attacked the post of Unifil in Lebanonin fact he fired at the commanded military base from Italythe raid led to the injury of two Indonesian soldiers. From a diplomatic point of view, the attack was very serious. The minister Crosetto he evoked war crimes and the head of the Farnesina Tajani he clearly said, “Now I expect an apologythe agreements were disregarded and violated international law“. The situation in the Middle East is becoming increasingly worrying. Why does Israel want to get rid of Unifil? In the field of hypotheses there are two very plausible ones: one with an international image and one military. Israel – based on what Il Corriere has learned della Sera – does not want Unifil so as not to have witnesses of his fightingfor example of the use of banned chemical weapons like white phosphorus (already denounced by the UN): it would be the same reason that pushed the army of a country that considers itself democratic to accept journalists in Gaza only with its own accompaniment.
The second reason – continues Il Corriere – is tactical. Commandos and reservists are penetrating Lebanese territory especially from the Shebaa farms which are at the north-eastern edge of southern Lebanon. If Unifil withdrew, a corridor would open along the coast, south-west of the disputed area. The Israelis could thus carry out a classic pincer maneuver with units coming from the farms. Hezbollah fighters would be trapped. As in Afghanistanif the international community ran away and allowed such an operation, the credibility of the entire system of diplomatic relations would be morally shattered. What the Unifil mission in Lebanon did not do is evident. First, it failed to assist the Lebanese Armed Forces in re-establishing control of the territory. Southern Lebanon, where over 10 thousand peacekeepers operatewas for years under occupation by Israel and then by Christian armed groups allied with Tel Aviv. There is also the possibility of having the Italian soldiers withdraw on the tableCrosetto has been studying this extreme possibility for some time, but now the situation risks degenerating: first of all we need a “formal apology from Israel”.
