UNIFIL urges smooth duty transfer in Lebanon
The commander of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and its General Staff, Major General Diudato Abaniara, emphasized the necessity of ensuring that UN agencies and the Lebanese Army are capable of taking over control of southern Lebanon before UNIFIL's planned withdrawal at the end of this year. This comes amid increasing tensions and conflicts with Israel, as well as the blockade of certain areas. The region is experiencing military escalation, with Israel conducting demolitions and destruction of areas it accuses Hizballah of having infrastructure within. International discussions are ongoing regarding the future of the force and the need for a smooth transition of responsibilities to the Lebanese Army or other international entities, amid concerns about losing military oversight of southern Lebanon after the withdrawal—especially since more than half of UNIFIL's positions are currently within areas controlled by Israel.
