the moment that Un post continued to radio Israeli movements and that way giving an advantage to Hezbollah, it lost it's neutrality, engaged actively against the interest of one and for the interests of the other faction - and by that violated it's neutrality status, thus becoming a valid target. It'S as if they would have set up a telephone line to Hezbollah, telling them what the Israelis are up to. It wouldn't have hurt if they observed what the Israelis did - and waited to transmit that until the fighting in that area was over. As that friend of Fish indicated, it had worked that way in the past, and noone got hurt.
Hezbollah itself abuses UN posts for cover, see the UN-pdf I linked to.
If you put personnell in the line of fire, expect some of them getting burned. Sad, but that's war.
