Ex-UN Soldier Exposes Hezbollah Dominance in Southern Lebanon

A former Danish UN soldier revealed in an interview that Hezbollah maintained tight control over areas in southern Lebanon where UN personnel operated, further substantiating Israeli claims that the UN has failed to prevent Hezbollah’s military buildup and enforce Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Lebanon War. 

Michael, a retired Danish soldier who served with the UN in southern Lebanon, told a Danish newspaper that UN personnel were “completely dependent on Hezbollah” and had limited freedom of movement. 

He recounted that UN personnel were often blocked by Hezbollah operatives when they attempted to access suspected areas of terrorist activity. “They simply blocked the road. They weren’t openly armed, but it was clear they were Hezbollah fighters,” he said. 

He also noted that UN peacekeepers were prohibited from documenting what they observed. “It wasn’t allowed to take videos or pictures. If we did, locals could confiscate our cameras. This happened to some of my colleagues.” 

Meanwhile, IDF Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari revealed on Monday night, October 21, that the former Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah’s bunker was located underneath a hospital - which held gold and half a billion dollars in cash.  A report said that it served as Hezbollah’s central money warehouse, where the vast majority of the organization’s money stolen from Lebanese citizens and used for terrorism was hidden.   

It was located beneath the Al-Sahel Hospital, in Dahieh in southern Beirut, and was used as Nasrallah’s emergency bunker. The hospital has been evacuated following the claims and Hagari said that Israel will not strike the hospital. He added, “This bunker is deliberately placed under the hospital and on both sides of it.” (YNet /VFI News) 

“Dear Lord, we pray in Yeshua’s name that the Hezbollah terror organization becomes immediately dismantled and that the Lebanese citizens will not be further exploited by them nor used as human shields. We thank You for equipping our forces to destroy Hezbollah’s infrastructure and weapons, and we trust that You will continue to operate in Your righteousness according to Your perfect Will. Please guide us into Your Will and into protecting all innocent civilians.”
