The UN force was correct to refuse then. This is pure Israeli coercion to deny them the ability to perform their duty correctly. If Hezbolla had made this threat, I bet Israel would make headlines out of it and would have blasted the UN force for capitulating to the terrorists if they complied with any such demand.
Consider what we would have said about this if the situation was reversed: Hezbollah murders the UN guys. Why? Because the UN guys happen to see the Hezbollahs and made a neutral report that could be intercepted by Israelis. They give warnings, it is ignored, and the Hezbollah guys attack. Israel will have a field day with this, citing it as evidence that the world really needs to unite against Hezhollah, and no one would ever find out that under the same circumstances, Israel would have
done the same.
