French UNIFIL troops prevented IDF forces, including tanks and several other armored vehicles, from entering the south Lebanese village of Marwaheen. The IDF refused to comment on the incident.

According top the report, the IDF force planned on advancing further into Lebanese territory when a French UNIFIL battalion blocked the road leading to the village. (News agencies)

Looks like UNIFIL is doing a great job protecting Hizbullah against the IDF

Wrong answer. The Israelis will just bomb it.

Slightly different take on this incident in all three articles:

UN, Israeli tanks in brief face-off in south Lebanon

According to the JPost story the UNIFIL is even denying the incident took place at all:

Report: IDF clashes with French UNIFIL troops

Next time, the Israelis should use troops who speak German, driving tanks with the old Iron Cross on them. They'll have brand-new rifles (unfired and only dropped once) and spit-shined boots before you can say "We Surrender!"

This is exactly what I predicted. The UN forces acting as human shields for Hezbollah and obstructing Israel any chance it gets.

I suppose that they're a good substitute in case their white flags become frayed from overuse.

Sounds like the LeClerks are going to get crushed by the Merkavas later.
