United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) is a peacekeeping mission established in 1978 to maintain stability in southern Lebanon. Its primary goals are to confirm the withdrawal of Israeli forces, restore peace and security, and assist the Lebanese government in restoring its authority. UNIFIL patrols the area, monitors ceasefires, and supports humanitarian efforts. It operates with the consent of Lebanon and works alongside Lebanese authorities and local communities to reduce tensions and prevent conflict, acting as a neutral presence to promote peace and stability in the region.
