> Why aren't the UN troops keeping the peace?

They're basically observers when there are any other armed troops present. They have small arms, everybody else has rockets, missiles, or tanks.

Why are they there then? Seems they are willingly serving as human shields to prevent Israel from retaliating against Hezbollah attacks.
