Defence Forces Headquarters remain in regular contact with our leadership on the ground, getting updates on the ongoing situation in our three mission areas (UNDOF, UNTSO and UNIFIL). The safety and security of our personnel stationed in the region remains of paramount concern to the General Staff, and we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the families and friends of our personnel for their steadfast support throughout this deployment.
UNIFIL HQ has instructed all battalions to limit movements with the ongoing situation. Assessments on the supply corridor north of the Litani to Beirut were made at the beginning of the escalations and it was determined that the current environment is not conducive to the movement of large convoys.
Personnel currently on leave rotation were instructed to hold their return travel to Lebanon and remain on standby until a secure window becomes available to return them to UNP 2-45. These plans are being reviewed on a daily basis.
