10. The IDF told the UN peacekeepers to stay under cover

Sat Feb 21, 2026, 06:19 AM

Saturday

The latest incident is alleged to have taken place on Sunday morning. UN peacekeepers have said they were warned by the Israeli military to remain under cover while it carried out an aerial operation to drop what they said was a non-toxic chemical substance. Videos captured light aircraft spraying extensively over agricultural areas.

So it's not just "Lebanon" reporting this.
