Indian troops in UN peacekeeping force remain in southern Lebanon during Israeli ground operation

Indian troops in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) will remain in their positions in southern Lebanon despite Israel's recent ground incursion. The Indian contingent, consisting of over 900 personnel, is ensuring safety and continuing peacekeeping duties. Israel's military operation, described as "targeted and limited," aims to address threats from Hezbollah along the border. The Israeli Defense Forces are conducting ground operations supported by air and artillery forces. UNIFIL confirmed it was notified of Israel's actions and emphasized that its peacekeepers will stay in place. The force, which includes around 10,500 personnel from 50 countries, works alongside the Lebanese Armed Forces to maintain stability in the region.
