🧵 UNIFIL peacekeepers remain on the ground, maintaining stability along the Blue Line. Hundreds of patrols are conducted daily—many jointly with @LebArmy_Official, others independently, but always in coordination and in line with Resolution 1701.

.UNIFIL remains committed to working with all parties to restore and maintain calm along the Blue Line.

This week, UNIFIL peacekeepers are repairing a damaged section of the Naqoura–Alma Ash Shab road near our headquarters — in coordination with the الجيش اللبناني and at the request of local mayors. ⏩

These efforts are part of UNIFIL’s ongoing work to restore access the south. Since the cessation of hostilities in November, peacekeepers have been on the ground clearing hundreds of roadblocks and reopening vital roads for communities and peacekeepers alike.

Peacekeepers joined the Women & Children Festival in Tyre, with the Union of Municipalities and the Lebanese Army. Local women shared handmade goods, and peacekeepers brought shows for kids — a moment to connect, support local trade, and stand with those facing real challenges.

UNIFIL and the الجيش اللبناني work together in south Lebanon to monitor and report any violations of Resolution 1701. Their strong partnership and visible presence are essential to bring back state authority, restoring stability and security in the south.

Part of south Lebanon has been devastated — and parts of the Blue Line is no longer visible. From a damaged UN base, our Spox Andrea Tenenti explains why peacekeepers are needed now more than ever: to monitor violations, support الجيش اللبناني, and help restore stability.

“Supporting the الجيش اللبناني in their full deployment in south Lebanon is key to extending the authority of the Lebanese state. This requires a full withdrawal of the IDF from the areas they are currently present in south Lebanon.” ~Diodato Abagnara 🎙️on.soundcloud.com/9vWS13HEWNbo6E…

With UNIFIL’s support, the LAF has now deployed to 120+ positions in the south. Strengthening their capabilities through joint activities and training is vital — not just for us, but for the international community — in maintaining stability.

With over 10,000 peacekeepers deployed, UNIFIL supports Lebanon and Israel in their implementation of United Nations resolution 1701 (2006); peacekeepers monitor and report violations of the resolution to the Security Council and support security and stability in the region.

During a recent operation in south Lebanon, UNIFIL peacekeepers, in close coordination with الجيش اللبناني, discovered a tunnel of approximately 50 meters and several unexploded ordnances near Al Qusayr. In line with resolution 1701, the findings were handed over to the LAF.

Since the ceasefire in November 2024, UNIFIL has been helping maintain stability along the Blue Line, supporting the الجيش اللبناني, and preventing a return to hostilities. ℹ️ Full op-ed by USG for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix: bit.ly/41leyzT

Road repair, demining and clearing roadblocks are key elements of UNIFIL’s support to local communities, helping restore safe access and freedom of movement. In Shama, Chinese peacekeepers cleared rubble & reopened roads, supporting safe mobility and stability in south Lebanon.

UNIFIL peacekeepers patrol south Lebanon day and night to monitor and report on all violations of Resolution 1701. This resolution remains the main framework for restoring stability, bringing back state authority, and security in the region.

Through patrols, supporting الجيش اللبناني, and assisting local communities, UNIFIL helps reduce tensions and create the conditions for lasting stability.

As the Security Council prepares to review the mandate of UNIFIL this week, unified support is essential to safeguard progress and prevent a return to conflict. Learn more about the work of the mission: peacekeeping.un.org/en/un-peacekee…

"At the moment, #UNIFIL is still very much needed to support the stability of the region. There is still a lot that needs to be done. The work needs to be completed." - Andrea Tenenti, UNIFIL Spokesperson

Today I visited the الجيش اللبناني training hub in Aramein, north Lebanon. UNIFIL is working to support the Lebanese Army in their full deployment to the south of Lebanon, strengthening cooperation, and providing stability and security in Line with resolution 1701.

UNIFIL peacekeepers patrol south Lebanon every day – independently and with the الجيش اللبناني. These patrols are essential to monitoring all violations of resolution 1701, strengthening security along the Blue Line, and restoring stability in the region.

Last night’s strikes by Israel in south Lebanon are violations of Security Council resolution 1701 and put the fragile stability that has been built since November of last year at risk.
