UNIFIL peacekeepers have begun refurbishing Blue Line markers damaged during last year’s conflict, marking an important step toward restoring stability in south Lebanon. 

UNIFIL today marked the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations with a ceremony held at its headquarters in Naqoura, south Lebanon. 

Just before noon yesterday, an Israeli drone dropped a grenade that exploded near a UNIFIL position in Kafer Kela. One peacekeeper was lightly injured and received medical assistance.

Before the grenade was dropped, peacekeepers had observed two drones flying near their position.
