U.N. Peacekeepers Say Attacked by Mobs in the South
Groups of civilians attacked United Nations peacekeepers on patrol in two incidents in southern Lebanon on Friday, damaging their vehicles but causing no injuries, the mission said in a statement.
The U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said two patrols in the al-Mansouri and Majdal Zoun areas in south Lebanon were obstructed on Friday morning "by groups of aggressive men."
"Civilians attempted to block the way of UNIFIL patrols and attacked the peacekeepers," the statement said.
"UNIFIL patrol vehicles had to push aside some civilian vehicles used as roadblocks in order to safely pull out from the locations."
The statement said no peacekeepers were injured in the incidents, which caused "severe damages" to UNIFIL vehicles.
It gave no indication of the reason for the incidents, or any prior tension in the area, and said the mission was in touch with the Lebanese army to determine the cause of the attacks.
The 10,000-strong UNIFIL mission monitors the ceasefire line between Lebanon and Israel, which remain technically in a state of war.

can an ordinary citizen do this and get away with it? Then you have aoun tell us on a daily basis that no one is above the law.
Oh, i forgot he did say that hezbollah is beyond the state capabilities.

Can ordinary citizens do what? Block a convoy? Yes obviously, anyone can, and we've seen it happen everywhere in Lebanon and not just in Lebanon.

"All we know is that their convoy was blocked"
We seem to know a bit more than what you posted. The article heading is"
"U.N. Peacekeepers Say Attacked by Mobs in the South"
Then the article says: ""Civilians attempted to block the way of UNIFIL patrols and attacked the peacekeepers," the statement said."
blocking a convoy and blocking and 'attacking' are not quite the same you must admit even for a propagandist like you.

attacked how? the article mentions no gunfire, not a stone being thrown, not even a scuffle. I just wonder what got those big boys in armoured vehicles crying... and what's got you all jumping off your seats
when israel bombs and kills peacekeepers you guys justify it, but here without a single person getting scratched you're all seething like mad dogs. redefining hypocrisy every day

You are the cancer terrorist. You know nothing of what happened, you don't know who did what, nor who the involved people are, yet you are here insulting the people of the south as if a POS like you were in any position to judge anyone.

it seems you DO know what happened and your rant explains it. Enlighten us on what happened then that justifies these outlaws attacking United Nations peacekeepers.

@janoubi
of course he has no clue and in his heretic clueless mind there had to be a valid reason why his heretics attacked international peacekeepers. Furthermore, he makes the incident a normal occurrence that one must brush aside as insignificant. That is how filthy this farsi sectarian troll is.

oh what a coincidence, a "new" user who speaks just like the old ones, with his comment full of words like "heretic" and "farsi".
funny how in real life nobody speaks like this, but on naharnet a dozen hasbara trolling accounts know no other language. could it be the same scumbag behind them all?

another coincidence i also noticed is very similar to yours mowaten. Many including yourself use the words "Salafi", "Wahabi", "Jew", "Israeli", "Hasbara", etc. could it be the same scumbag behind them all?

cut the BS trollo, it's crystal clear who's posting with twelve accounts, you're not fooling anyone but yourself.

once you wake up from your coke & captagon cocktail induced coma, you will realize there is a real world out there; and in that real world words like 'heretic' and 'farsi' are quite synonymous with 'shia' and 'iranian' and the rest of the scum like you.

I have the utmost respect for Mr. BarryMore for drawing on his college years working as a bartender serving cocktails and for using the expression to explain to Mr. Mowaten the realities of the real world.
