Peacekeeping Missions do NOT follow the same ground rules as combat missions,
at this point in time U.N.I.F.I.L. are regulated to where and what particular jobs they can do in their A.O.s in some cases nothing unless accompanied by the local Lebanese military.
that said, by the time you got a U.A.V. up, and in such a close confined space as the A.O. all in sundry would know about it and the area would remain quiet until the toys were put away.
ITALIAIR operating Hueys, were primarily a source of MEDEVAC for most of the time in U.N.I.F.I.L. if my memory serves me correctly, I don't think there were any fixed wing assets allocated to U.N.I.F.I.L. anything such as planes would be on the IDF watch list for fear it might be a terrorist infiltration, the PLO had launched infiltration by Hot Air Balloon and motorized hang-gliders in the past.
