Remember that time when UNIFIL commander Claudio Graziano condescendingly dismissed Israeli concerns about Hezbollah activity by saying that UNIFIL was "physically patrolling every corner of southern Lebanon"? And we were more or less like "he's obviously lying because Hezbollah just fired a bunch of rockets into Israel." It turns out that we may have been a little unfair. It's not that UNIFIL isn't aware that Hezbollah is in open violation of the UN resolution that convinced Israel to leave southern Lebanon. It's just that they're too pathetic to do anything about it:

Hizbullah gunmen chased away UNIFIL inspectors in south Lebanon who identified a truck carrying arms belonging to the guerrilla group, a report published twice a year by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon revealed Tuesday. The incident was the first time UNIFIL troops confirmed the presence of Hizbullah gunmen south of the Litani River, in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701... Sources in Jerusalem said the incident was a source of great embarrassment for UNIFIL. The troops trailed the truck and stopped it, but when the troops approached the truck, armed Hizbullah members jumped out and threatened to hurt them if they would not leave the area. The source said UNIFIL's men turned back and left the scene.

The rest of the article says that this was kind of embarrassing for UNIFIL. Which is probably true, but just think how red-faced the Hezbollah guys were - usually they're able to use the UN and Israeli intel that UNIFIL leaks them to totally avoid these kinds of confrontations. Maybe it was a pesky random patrol. Or an officer showing just enough initiative to playact being a real soldier.
