Katz to UN envoy for Lebanon: Israel will show 'zero tolerance' for ceasefire violations

[moniss]

6. The history reveals otherwise and the UNIFIL

periodic reports back to the UN about violations cited both sides with large numbers of violations month after month, year after year. The parties set up the last agreement years ago to have UNIFIL be more of a reporting/observer force as opposed to a take action force. Israel may be quite understandably upset about Hezbollah/Iran pumping weaponry into the southern Lebanon region and pointing out the violations.

But if Israel is wanting to say that UNIFIL should go in and take action, guns blazing because of a violation then there should be no complaint when UNIFIL shoots down IDF aircraft violating Lebanese air space during all of these years which were violations of the previous agreement also. Sauce for the goose and the gander if we're going the route of saying people should have "forcefully" stopped violations.
