The UN soldiers there were observers. Perhaps the Israelis didn't want anyone there to observe their tactics?
As well,ne of the oldest tactics in warfare is to cause damage to a bystander group in order to draw them in, or hasten their participation. Sometimes it is done through "stray" attacks, other times by economic means.
Not sure if Israel did that this time, but it happens in wars all the time.
