What are UN "peacekeepers" even doing? I haven't heard anything about them trying to keep peace in the region.
United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.
I appreciate that, but that's more of a mission guideline than what they're actually doing right now on the ground.

But they're rather inconvenient now that israel wants to invade Lebanon.
