UNIFIL’s Italian Battalion, commanded by Colonel Massimo Crocco, today carried out a Crowd and Riot Control (CRC) training exercise with the Lebanese Armed Forces personnel in the Tyre district, south-western Lebanon.

UNIFIL organized on Sunday a traditional street market in the UN Mission’s Sector East Headquarters in Marjayoun, where local businesspersons and traders set up a variety of stalls. The aim of the event was to promote local businesses and economy.

A UNIFIL-funded quick impact project was inaugurated last week at the Dayr Amis Municipality building in south Lebanon. The ceremony was attended by the Malaysian Contingent (MALBATT) Deputy Commander, the Mayor of Dayr Amis and other local authorities.
