UNIFIL’s French peacekeepers hosted members of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in their main base in the south Lebanese village of Dayr Kifa for joint training last week. 

Peacekeepers from the Republic of Korea have been a vital source of support for local communities, providing medical care to around 1,800 residents across five villages in Tyre, south Lebanon: Brughuliyah, Abbasiyah, Burj Rahal, Tayr Dibba, and Shabriha. 

In light of worrying developments across the Blue Line since the early morning, UNSCOL and UNIFIL call on all to cease fire and refrain from further escalatory action.
