Sorry if this is an ignorant question but - what do those UN troops actually do? Like there are thousands of them on the Lebanese border right? This isn’t a criticism I just genuinely don’t understand, like what do they do all day, what’s their purpose there now?
Not that new but there’s a weird French sci fi starring Lea Seydoux called The Beast that was released last year which is pretty good.

Every time Israel commits another war crime Iran should drop a missile on Tel Aviv. Reports they have been using white phosphorus in Lebanon now
Yeah I’ve gotta come down off this news high, I feel like a child glued to images of the world trade centre collapsing
No doubt there must be several times more wounded than killed as well. Saw someone on Twitter reporting 60+ wounded but not sure of its accuracy
It is strange how the history of the US seems to be a history of its enemies underestimating its resolve and capacity for violence.
