Is it possible that UNIFIL officials were using these weapons against Israel? UNRWA employees in Gaza doubled as Hamas jihadis, so why wouldn’t the same thing happen in Lebanon?
“IDF locates terrorist weapons caches near UN posts,” JNS, November 8, 2026:
(Nov. 8, 2026 / JNS) Israeli troops found dozens of weapons near United Nations outposts in Southern Lebanon, the Israeli military announced on Sunday.
Soldiers recovered weapons from a civilian home used by Hezbollah approximately 200 meters from one UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) outpost and from a storage facility 100 meters from another, the army said.
The weapons included rifles, RPG launchers and rockets, a machine gun and fragmentation grenades. They were found alongside humanitarian aid boxes and emblems of the Amal and Hezbollah terrorist organizations, the IDF said.
“This is further evidence that the UNIFIL force has failed in its mission, and of the cynical exploitation by terrorist organizations in the face of UNIFIL’s inaction,” the Israeli military said in a statement….

Well of course!
The IN was aiding and abetting Hamas and in some cases joining them. UNWRA was rightly called out as a terrorist organization by Israel.

Does UNFIL conduct patrolling in a conventional military sense? Or do they drive around to be seen, like a police patrol might do?
It’s the latter, because they lack the weapons and military strength to patrol their local area in a military sense.
Thus Hizballah can hide their munitions 200m from the UN, quietly confident the UN will ne clueless as to what is happening under their noses.

Looks like the UN agencies provide cover for the hezballa and hamas and their jihad.
And we keep funding that corrupt disgusting agency

Anyone who knows anything about UN personnel, especially the higher up you go, they hate Israel. I have worked with them before, and I was at the time not really taking any sides, though I would favor Israel a bit.
I don’t know what it is, but they do not like Israel, and they are all very Palestine friendly. This is across a broad spectrum, including even Indians, Europeans, Africans you name it. In contrast, most of us on what I guess you could call “the other side” we were simply just fair people doing our jobs, that is NOT TAKING SIDES! Not that we were involved in anything Israel Palestine, it’s just you hear a lot of conversations that aren’t supposed to be happening in these roles.
It’s supposed to be as very neutral and fair system you are supposed to commit to. But it hardly ever works in practice. But Israel Palestine is an extreme case. The French especially are very strange about Israel as are the Dutch. We just put our heads down and did our jobs and didn’t pick sides in things we had no business with.
Things like this damage trust in UN missions, and that’s why it’s a global laughing stock. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are groups of them “turning the corner” if they see something that could benefit the “resistance” and harm Israel. These things are definitely real. Definitely. I have seen them.
