On March 8, 2023, UNIFIL celebrated International Women’s Day with a two-part event. The day started with the "Run for Women's Empowerment," a 4-kilometer race featuring women and men, both military and civilian.

Last week, the Civil Defense Risala and UNIFIL’s Malaysian Contingent conducted a joint firefighting and emergency first aid training session.

The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) Navy has taken on more operational tasks in the central and northern sections of Lebanon’s territorial waters. This is part of the long-term goal of transferring tasks that UNIFIL’s Maritime Task Force is currently responsible for to the Lebanese authorities.
