Al Jazeera
About this episode

UN peacekeepers in Lebanon have come under direct Israeli fire and sustained injuries in recent weeks as the escalation between Israel and Hezbollah intensifies.

But with escalating tensions and the safety of troops in crisis, what does the future of UNIFIL look like in Lebanon?
