UNIFIL’s French peacekeepers from the Mission’s Force Commander’s Reserve (FCR) donated civil defense firefighters in the south-western village of Alma al-Sha’b, near the Blue Line, with firefighting and security gear last week.
United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix concluded a four-day visit to Lebanon yesterday.
Last night, a peacekeeper was hurt after a patrol was attacked by a group of young men in Taybeh, south Lebanon.
A vehicle was also damaged.
Attacks on men and women serving the cause of peace are not only condemnable, but they are violations of Resolution 1701 and Lebanese law.
Last week, in the midst of continued exchanges of fire and heightened tension across the Blue Line, 144 tons of flour were delivered to several communities in South Lebanon by UNIFIL's Polish Contingent.
This morning, UNIFIL and Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) paid tribute to the life and work of Master Sergeant Tomasz Fąfara of UNIFIL’s Polish contingent.
Master Sergeant Fąfara passed away of natural causes on 21 November 2023 while serving for peace in south Lebanon.
On Saturday, at around 10 pm, two mortar shells hit a UNIFIL base in the vicinity of the village of Houla, resulting in the injury of one peacekeeper who was promptly evacuated for medical treatment.
Today, at approximately 3 pm, a shell landed inside UNIFIL headquarters in Naqoura. Fortunately, it did not explode and no one was hurt, but our base was damaged. The shell has been removed and we are working to ascertain the origin of the attack.
Today marks the 78thanniversary of the entry into force of the United Nations Charter, and the day in 1945 that the United Nations officially came into being.
This evening, the Lebanese Armed Forces requested UNIFIL's assistance for seven individuals stranded near the Blue Line, close to Sheikh Abad's tomb, during a significant exchange of fire across the Blue Line.
Today we are observing intense exchanges of fire in several areas along the Blue Line between Lebanese territory and Israel.
