The Sector West Headquarters of UNIFIL organized a joint training course with the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) yesterday in order to identify and mitigate the potential dangers posed by chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons.

UNIFIL peacekeepers held a memorial ceremony in El Khiam in south Lebanon last week to pay homage to the six Spanish peacekeepers killed there in an attack ten years ago. 

During the summer season in Lebanon, scorching sunshine sends mercury soaring. Under such circumstances, it is not always easy for UNIFIL peacekeepers, who work round the clock implementing the Mission’s mandate, to bear the heat.
