Might be a bit tougher for the IDF is their opponents fight back.

So Israel is going to conduct airstrikes on UN bases now?

@shreddy_scientist @Sundial There seems to be absolutely no red line at this point. Maybe it's a good thing, they start bombing the UN then they become an enemy combatant and the rest of the world can go take care of the problem.

But if the UN defends themselves against Israel then Israel will acquire the right to defend themselves against the UN.

Up there with Macron telling Netanyahu to remember that Israel only exists because the UN decided that it should. I dont like Macron and its still just talk, but its a step in the right direction.

Of course they are "allowed to", which is kind of a ridiculous notion in war in the first place.
But they're in a complex enclosed by land that will soon be under full control of Israeli forces.
All info getting out will go through Israeli channels.
Independent observers won't be let anywhere close.
And when the peacekeepers end up disappearing, the west will strongly urge Israel to conduct an investigation into the matter.
