Just a couple of thoughts.
The UN as a peacekeeper is not particularly efficient. How can it be with all of the polictical pressure brought to bear on it and the lack of any kind of forces of its own.
Israel is going to take a lot of heat from the US and much of the rest of the world for killing not only numerous civilians (including women and children), but the UN troops as well. If they claim accidents, they are going to look like fools, if not they'll look bloodthirsty or uncaring. I'd guess that's why the US is suddenly pushing for a quick cease fire -- which we were not doing last week as I recall.
Hezbollah is not made up of nice people.
The war of words in this thread is sometimes more acrimonious than the one in the actual war. Neither are particularly entertaining.
