UNIFIL

UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) is a UN peacekeeping mission established to maintain peace and security along the Lebanon-Israel border. Recent news highlights UNIFIL's challenging role amidst escalating tensions. The organization is newsworthy due to increased Israeli strikes in Lebanon, violating the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. A recent incident involved a drone allegedly dropping a grenade on UNIFIL troops. Furthermore, gunmen attacked UN peacekeepers, leading to arrests by the Lebanese army. These events coincide with a visit from a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) delegation to assess the situation firsthand. UNIFIL's presence and operations are particularly relevant as Lebanon navigates a fragile ceasefire and the UNSC seeks to understand the realities on the ground.
