The "ITALAIR" Task Force, the Italian helicopter component deployed with UNIFIL in south Lebanon, is marking today 40 years of uninterrupted presence in Lebanon.

UNIFIL this week donated UN-owned information technology (IT) and transport assets to Lebanese security entities with the aim of enhancing state authority in the Mission’s area of operation in south Lebanon.

A group of schoolchildren from Beirut visited UNIFIL’s Sector East Headquarters in Ibl al-Saqi last week to learn about the work of UN peacekeepers in furthering peace in south Lebanon.
