This vid shows a confrontation i Southern Lebanon, between on one side the following elements of UNIFIL, APC platoon/Coy A/NORBATT XXV, UNIFIL Force Mobile Reserve (FMR) and lastly one bulldozer from SVEDENGCOY, & on the other elements of the Israeli defence forces (IDF), that took place on the 23th of July 1990. The item of dispute was a new road to the IDF position PV-68 (UNIFIL designation), near the South Lebanese village of Kaokaba, that the IDF wanted to build a bit further away from the Litani river than the allready existing access road to PV-68.
On the part of IDF, I guess they hoped the new road would make the approach to PV-68 less exposed to ambushes with what nowdays are termed IEDs, but back then were just called "roadside bombs".
With regards to UNIFIL/NORBATT the new road would put the position 4-24 CP in an untenable position, in that it would be able to watch infiltration attempts by local "armed elements" (in short AE, a general UNIFIL term for insurgency organisations/formations resisting the Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon) against the new road, but outside the mandated NORBATT/UNIFIL area of operations (AO).
Thus putting UNIFIL as a neutral intermediate in an impossible positon, open to accusations of either not stopping terrorist or of meddling with the affairs of the Armed elements outside of the UNIFIL AO.
4-24 CP also risked standing directly in line of IDF retaliatory fire from PV-68 against AE infil attempts on the new road.
This incident is a follow up to the incident on 13th July 1990
(Can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTAHUaw8cXg )
In the end UNIFIL had to back off, when IDF threatened with opening fire against UN forces if the didn't back down. Unfortunately for IDF/DFF this new road also later were targeted with IEDs by AE on several occasions.
There is no path to peace; peace is the path

This video was taken before two UNIFIL troops retreated to a village, as published on TV ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yKsiaGmdEM ). This is what peace maker army does, they are not allowed to use their weapon if both sides already in an active combat and they are ordered to retreat to the base.
Chronology told by a witness (User : ranggawulung08) :
There was gun fight between Lebanon (LAF) and Israel (IDF) at 12 pm after UNIFIL Indobatt tried to prevent the fight for 4 hours since 8 am.
When an escalation began, Israel gave shot 6 times by Merkava Cavalry 120mm. An Apache chopper shot 12.7mm 4 times and launched phosphoric bomb. A fighter jet shot the hill around them. Indobatt moved to another place since the LAF area was not safe.
This escalation ran for 3 hours. Two Indobatt troops were separated from their group, walked along 5 km, avoided phosphoric shower and entered Spain's operation area which was already empty.
Both tried to find a nearest UNIFIL base. A local drove them to UN POSN 7-1 Adhsit alQusayr. There was also a Portuguese soldier together with them in panic.

Seit zehn Jahren ist die deutsche Marine am UNIFIL-Einsatz vor der Küste des Libanon beteiligt.
Der Auftrag: die Seegrenzen des Libanon zu sichern und Waffenschmuggel von See zu verhindern. Die Marineschiffe patrouillieren dabei regelmäßig im Einsatzgebiet und fragen per Funk die wichtigsten Daten der Schiffe ab, die in diesem Seegebiet unterwegs sind. Verdächtige Schiffe, die beim sogenannten „Hailing“ ausgemacht werden, werden den libanesischen Behörden übergeben, die sie anschließend im Hafen überprüfen können.
Die Maritime Task Force (MTF) untersteht dem UNIFIL-Hauptquartier in Naqura und ist der erste Flottenverband unter Führung der Vereinten Nationen. Die MTF wird derzeit von einem brasilianischen Flaggschiff geführt. Neben Deutschland sind fünf weitere Nationen an der MTF beteiligt: Brasilien, Bangladesch, Griechenland, Indonesien und die Türkei.
Deutsche Soldaten sind an vier Standorten im Einsatz. Auf See mit Schiffs- und Bootsbesatzungen, beim Unterstützungselement in Limassol auf Zypern, im UNIFIL-Hauptquartier in Naqura und als Ausbilder an der Naval School in Jounieh.
Stand zu Beginn der Mission vor zehn Jahren noch die Seeraumüberwachung im Vordergrund, ist der Schwerpunkt des deutschen Einsatzes heute, die libanesische Marine zu befähigen, ihre Grenzen einmal selbst zu sichern. Mit deutscher Unterstützung werden die libanesischen Soldaten an der Marineschule in Jounieh in Navigation, Seemannschaft und Taktik unterrichtet. Daneben nehmen die Boote der libanesischen Marine regelmäßig an Übungen des UN-Verbandes teil.
Zusätzlich zur Ausbildung hat die Libanesische Armee auch technische Unterstützung erhalten: Mit deutscher Hilfe wurde an der Küste eine Kette von Radarstationen sowie eine Kontrollzentrale errichtet. Damit verfügen die Libanesen nun jederzeit über ein Lagebild über ihre Küstengewässer. Die Bediener der Radarstationen wurden ebenfalls von der deutschen Marine ausgebildet.

Suomalaiset rauhanturvaajat ovat palanneet Libanonin UNIFIL-operaatioon. Suomalaisten tehtävänä on valvoa eri osapuolten välistä vihollisuuksien lopettamista omalla vastuualueellaan ja avustaa Libanonin asevoimia saamaan toimialue maan viranomaisten hallintaan.
Beirutiin saapumisen jälkeen joukko aloitti iltaan saakka kestäneen siirtymisensä kohti eteläisessä Libanonissa sijaitsevaa YK:n tukikohtaa 6-5, joka tunnetaan nimellä "Shamrock" (apila). Nimi on irlantilaisten rauhanturvaajien antama, sillä suomalaiset siirtyivät suorittamaan tehtäväänsä yhdessä irlantilaisten rauhanturvaajakollegojensa kanssa.
Joukko saapui tukikohtaan illan jo käännyttyä yöksi. Irlantilaiset esikuntaupseerit tervehtivät portilla saapuvaa suomalaista joukkoa säkkipillisoittajan musisoidessa taustalla.

Marking the 38th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), the top official with the UN Mission today hailed the extraordinary relationship of mutual support, respect and trust with the people of southern Lebanon throughout the last decades.
“UNIFIL achievements, since its establishment, are many and they have all been successfully reached by working together with our many partners,” said the UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander, Major-General Luciano Portolano. “I am very glad to share with you the most important of all our achievements: the cessation of hostilities is still respected and long period of calm and stability is allowing the people of the south to enjoy a better life.”
Major-General Portolano was speaking at a special ceremony organized at the UNIFIL Headquarters to mark the anniversary, which falls on 19 March. In attendance at the ceremony were representatives of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and other security agencies, governors of southern Lebanon, members of the international community, local mayors, and community and religious leaders.
Major-General Portolano and Brigadier-General François Chahine, representing LAF Commander, laid wreaths at the UNIFIL cenotaph paying tributes to more than 300 UN peacekeepers who lost their lives in the line of service since UNIFIL’s establishment in 1978.
During today’s ceremony, which was marked by colourful presentations by the uniformed members of the Mission, UNIFIL leadership and the LAF representative awarded 40 military staff officers with the UN Medal for their contribution to fulfilling the Mission’s mandate.
While noting the past achievements in diffusing tensions and avoiding escalations, the UNIFIL Head of Mission, in his remarks, also highlighted the challenges ahead. He said the recent incidents – notably of 20 December 2015 and 4 January 2016 – in violation of the Security Council resolutions 425, 426 and 1701 remind us of the fragilities.
“The challenging and changing national and regional scenario in which UNIFIL is operating requires a constant reassessment of the Mission in all its elements: substantial and operational, military and civilian alike,” he added. “The flexible and adjustable, proactive and creative UNIFIL during these 10 years has proven to be the right key for the successful implementation of its mandate that has remained unchanged during these years.”
UNIFIL was created by the UN Security Council resolutions 425 and 426 of 19 March 1978, to confirm Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, restore international peace and security and assist the Lebanese Government in restoring its effective authority in the area.
Following the July/August conflict in 2006, the Security Council, through its resolution 1701, significantly enhanced UNIFIL’s mandate and capacity and assigned it additional tasks working closely with LAF in Southern Lebanon.
Today, UNIFIL comprises almost 10,500 military personnel from 40 countries, including the Maritime Task Force, the only naval force in peacekeeping operations - and some 1,000 civilian national and international staff.

United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Arabic: قوة الأمم المتحدة المؤقتة في لبنان), or UNIFIL (يونيفيل) and also known as the UN, was originally created by the United Nations, with the adoption of Security Council Resolution 425 and 426 on 19 March 1978, to confirm Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon which Israel had invaded five days prior, restore international peace and security, and help the Government of Lebanon restore its effective authority in the area.
The mandate had to be adjusted twice, due to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and after the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000.
Following the 2006 Lebanon War, the United Nations Security Council enhanced UNIFIL and decided that in addition to the original mandate, it would, among other things, monitor the cessation of hostilities; accompany and support the Lebanese Armed Forces as they deploy throughout the south of Lebanon; and extend its assistance to help ensure humanitarian access to civilian populations and the voluntary and safe return of displaced persons.

Lebanese people
The Lebanese people (Arabic: الشعب اللبناني / ALA-LC: ash-shaʻb al-Libnānī Lebanese Arabic pronunciation: [eʃˈʃaʕeb ellɪbˈneːne]) are the nation of Lebanon. The religious groups among the Lebanese people are Shias (27%), Sunnis (27%), Maronites (21%), Greek Orthodox (8%), Melkites (5%), Druze (5%), and Protestants (1%). There is a large diaspora in North America, South America, Europe, Australia and Africa. The term may also include those who had inhabited Mount Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountains prior to the creation of the modern Lebanese state.
The cultural and linguistic heritage of the Lebanese people is a blend of both indigenous Phoenician elements and the foreign cultures that have come to rule the land and its people over the course of thousands of years. In a 2013 interview the lead investigator, Pierre Zalloua, pointed out that genetic variation preceded religious variation and divisions: "Lebanon already had well-differentiated communities with their own genetic peculiarities, but not significant differences, and religions came as layers of paint on top. There is no distinct pattern that shows that one community carries significantly more Phoenician than another."

4-24 CP also risked standing directly in line of IDF retaliatory fire from PV-68 against AE infil attempts on the new road.
This incident is a follow up to the incident on 13th July 1990
(Can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTAHUaw8cXg )
In the end UNIFIL had to back off, when IDF threatened with opening fire against UN forces if the didn't back down. Unfortunately for IDF/DFF this new road also later were targeted with IEDs by AE on several occasions.

wn.com/Unifil And Idf Clash 23Th Of July 1990 Round 2 Lebanon
This vid shows a confrontation i Southern Lebanon, between on one side the following elements of UNIFIL, APC platoon/Coy A/NORBATT XXV, UNIFIL Force Mobile Reserve (FMR) and lastly one bulldozer from SVEDENGCOY, & on the other elements of the Israeli defence forces (IDF), that took place on the 23th of July 1990. The item of dispute was a new road to the IDF position PV-68 (UNIFIL designation), near the South Lebanese village of Kaokaba, that the IDF wanted to build a bit further away from the Litani river than the allready existing access road to PV-68.
On the part of IDF, I guess they hoped the new road would make the approach to PV-68 less exposed to ambushes with what nowdays are termed IEDs, but back then were just called "roadside bombs".
With regards to UNIFIL/NORBATT the new road would put the position 4-24 CP in an untenable position, in that it would be able to watch infiltration attempts by local "armed elements" (in short AE, a general UNIFIL term for insurgency organisations/formations resisting the Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon) against the new road, but outside the mandated NORBATT/UNIFIL area of operations (AO).

This video was taken before two UNIFIL troops retreated to a village, as published on TV ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yKsiaGmdEM ). This is what peace maker army does, they are not allowed to use their weapon if both sides already in an active combat and they are ordered to retreat to the base.
Chronology told by a witness (User : ranggawulung08) :
There was gun fight between Lebanon (LAF) and Israel (IDF) at 12 pm after UNIFIL Indobatt tried to prevent the fight for 4 hours since 8 am.
When an escalation began, Israel gave shot 6 times by Merkava Cavalry 120mm. An Apache chopper shot 12.7mm 4 times and launched phosphoric bomb. A fighter jet shot the hill around them. Indobatt moved to another place since the LAF area was not safe.
This escalation ran for 3 hours. Two Indobatt troops were separated from their group, walked along 5 km, avoided phosphoric shower and entered Spain's operation area which was already empty.
Both tried to find a nearest UNIFIL base. A local drove them to UN POSN 7-1 Adhsit alQusayr. There was also a Portuguese soldier together with them in panic.

Seit zehn Jahren ist die deutsche Marine am UNIFIL-Einsatz vor der Küste des Libanon beteiligt.
Der Auftrag: die Seegrenzen des Libanon zu sichern und Waffenschmuggel von See zu verhindern. Die Marineschiffe patrouillieren dabei regelmäßig im Einsatzgebiet und fragen per Funk die wichtigsten Daten der Schiffe ab, die in diesem Seegebiet unterwegs sind. Verdächtige Schiffe, die beim sogenannten „Hailing“ ausgemacht werden, werden den libanesischen Behörden übergeben, die sie anschließend im Hafen überprüfen können.
Die Maritime Task Force (MTF) untersteht dem UNIFIL-Hauptquartier in Naqura und ist der erste Flottenverband unter Führung der Vereinten Nationen. Die MTF wird derzeit von einem brasilianischen Flaggschiff geführt. Neben Deutschland sind fünf weitere Nationen an der MTF beteiligt: Brasilien, Bangladesch, Griechenland, Indonesien und die Türkei.
Deutsche Soldaten sind an vier Standorten im Einsatz. Auf See mit Schiffs- und Bootsbesatzungen, beim Unterstützungselement in Limassol auf Zypern, im UNIFIL-Hauptquartier in Naqura und als Ausbilder an der Naval School in Jounieh.
Stand zu Beginn der Mission vor zehn Jahren noch die Seeraumüberwachung im Vordergrund, ist der Schwerpunkt des deutschen Einsatzes heute, die libanesische Marine zu befähigen, ihre Grenzen einmal selbst zu sichern. Mit deutscher Unterstützung werden die libanesischen Soldaten an der Marineschule in Jounieh in Navigation, Seemannschaft und Taktik unterrichtet. Daneben nehmen die Boote der libanesischen Marine regelmäßig an Übungen des UN-Verbandes teil.
Zusätzlich zur Ausbildung hat die Libanesische Armee auch technische Unterstützung erhalten: Mit deutscher Hilfe wurde an der Küste eine Kette von Radarstationen sowie eine Kontrollzentrale errichtet. Damit verfügen die Libanesen nun jederzeit über ein Lagebild über ihre Küstengewässer. Die Bediener der Radarstationen wurden ebenfalls von der deutschen Marine ausgebildet.

Suomalaiset rauhanturvaajat ovat palanneet Libanonin UNIFIL-operaatioon. Suomalaisten tehtävänä on valvoa eri osapuolten välistä vihollisuuksien lopettamista omalla vastuualueellaan ja avustaa Libanonin asevoimia saamaan toimialue maan viranomaisten hallintaan.
Beirutiin saapumisen jälkeen joukko aloitti iltaan saakka kestäneen siirtymisensä kohti eteläisessä Libanonissa sijaitsevaa YK:n tukikohtaa 6-5, joka tunnetaan nimellä "Shamrock" (apila). Nimi on irlantilaisten rauhanturvaajien antama, sillä suomalaiset siirtyivät suorittamaan tehtäväänsä yhdessä irlantilaisten rauhanturvaajakollegojensa kanssa.
Joukko saapui tukikohtaan illan jo käännyttyä yöksi. Irlantilaiset esikuntaupseerit tervehtivät portilla saapuvaa suomalaista joukkoa säkkipillisoittajan musisoidessa taustalla.

Marking the 38th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), the top official with the UN Mission today hailed the extraordinary relationship of mutual support, respect and trust with the people of southern Lebanon throughout the last decades.
“UNIFIL achievements, since its establishment, are many and they have all been successfully reached by working together with our many partners,” said the UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander, Major-General Luciano Portolano. “I am very glad to share with you the most important of all our achievements: the cessation of hostilities is still respected and long period of calm and stability is allowing the people of the south to enjoy a better life.”
Major-General Portolano was speaking at a special ceremony organized at the UNIFIL Headquarters to mark the anniversary, which falls on 19 March. In attendance at the ceremony were representatives of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and other security agencies, governors of southern Lebanon, members of the international community, local mayors, and community and religious leaders.
Major-General Portolano and Brigadier-General François Chahine, representing LAF Commander, laid wreaths at the UNIFIL cenotaph paying tributes to more than 300 UN peacekeepers who lost their lives in the line of service since UNIFIL’s establishment in 1978.
During today’s ceremony, which was marked by colourful presentations by the uniformed members of the Mission, UNIFIL leadership and the LAF representative awarded 40 military staff officers with the UN Medal for their contribution to fulfilling the Mission’s mandate.
While noting the past achievements in diffusing tensions and avoiding escalations, the UNIFIL Head of Mission, in his remarks, also highlighted the challenges ahead. He said the recent incidents – notably of 20 December 2015 and 4 January 2016 – in violation of the Security Council resolutions 425, 426 and 1701 remind us of the fragilities.
“The challenging and changing national and regional scenario in which UNIFIL is operating requires a constant reassessment of the Mission in all its elements: substantial and operational, military and civilian alike,” he added. “The flexible and adjustable, proactive and creative UNIFIL during these 10 years has proven to be the right key for the successful implementation of its mandate that has remained unchanged during these years.”
UNIFIL was created by the UN Security Council resolutions 425 and 426 of 19 March 1978, to confirm Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, restore international peace and security and assist the Lebanese Government in restoring its effective authority in the area.
Following the July/August conflict in 2006, the Security Council, through its resolution 1701, significantly enhanced UNIFIL’s mandate and capacity and assigned it additional tasks working closely with LAF in Southern Lebanon.
Today, UNIFIL comprises almost 10,500 military personnel from 40 countries, including the Maritime Task Force, the only naval force in peacekeeping operations - and some 1,000 civilian national and international staff.

STORYLINE:
The Lebanese army and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) continued their investigation on Monday into Sunday's attack in South Lebanon that killed six UN peacekeepers.
The deadly attack against the peacekeepers marked the first time that the UN Interim Force in Lebanon has come under attack since it was reinforced last summer after the conflict between Hezbollah guerrillas and Israeli forces in Lebanon.
In Beirut, Lebanese residents were shocked by the attack on UNIFIL.
"We condemn this act, this will harm Lebanon. They came to achieve peace and we should save them as they are saving us," said Habib Kalakesh.
Also on Monday, Spain's defence minister arrived in southern Lebanon to collect the bodies of those slain in the car bombing.
Nobody has claimed responsibility for the bombing on Sunday that killed six members of the Spanish contingent, including three Colombians, and seriously wounded two others.
But the anti-Syrian coalition in parliament blamed Damascus, despite its condemnation of the bombing.
Before flying to the Marjayoun area of southern Lebanon near the border with Israel where the contingent has its headquarters, Spanish Defence Minister Jose Antonio Alonso called the bombing a "premeditated attack" and said the most likely cause was a car bomb or device activated by remote control.
The peacekeepers were patrolling the main road between the towns of Marjayoun and Khiam, a few kilometres north of the Israeli town of Metulla, when the bomb struck their armoured personnel carrier.
Spain has 1,100 peacekeepers in Lebanon, part of the 13-thousand member UN Interim Force in Lebanon from 30 countries, which first deployed in Lebanon in 1978 and was reinforced in the last year.
UNIFIL, along with 15-thousand Lebanese troops, patrols a zone along the Lebanese-Israeli border.
The attack, the first since UNIFIL was reinforced following last year's 34 day conflict, came as the UN has become increasingly involved in highly divisive issues in Lebanon, including its tense relations with neighbouring Syria.
Media reports earlier this month said interrogations by Lebanese authorities with captured al-Qaida-inspired militants revealed plots to attack the UN force.
The warnings became more serious after fighting erupted May 20 between Fatah Islam and Lebanese troops at the Nahr el-Bared Palestinian refugee camp in the north.
The militants have threatened to expand the battle to other parts of Lebanon.
In addition, al-Qaida's Number two, Ayman al-Zawahri, in videos broadcast in September, has denounced the reinforced UNIFIL.
But the majority anti-Syrian coalition in Lebanon's parliament has accused Damascus of being behind the bombing but Damascus has denied involvement in such attacks.

STORYLINE
Dozens of Spanish troops disembarked from a Spanish military ship docked in the port of Beirut on Thursday, the latest reinforcements to a growing U.N.-led peacekeeping mission monitoring the cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas.
Some 170 troops and engineers arrived in Lebanon, along with 35 containers of military and building materials and 15 vehicles, said Alberto Gonzales, an official working with the Spanish contingent in Lebanon.
Speaking at the port, Lieutenant Colonel Puig of the Spanish Army said the troops would head to south Lebanon to join hundreds of other Spanish peacekeepers currently based near the Christian town of Marjayoun.
He explained that the equipment and troops being unloaded from the ship would be used to prepare the ground and build the Spanish base in Marjayoun.
Some 600 Spanish troops arrived in Lebanon earlier this month, in the first phase of a Spanish deployment which will eventually total about 1,100 in the coming weeks.
They join a United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon), as it expands from 2,000 soldiers to 15,000 under a new Security Council resolution.
The U.N. force will patrol a buffer zone in south Lebanon to prevent hostilities from breaking out again between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas.
Spain will be the third-largest contributor to the U.N. force. France, Italy, Ghana and India currently have the largest contingents in UNIFIL.
The 34-day war, which ended in a U.N.-brokered cease-fire on August 14, killed more than 1,000 people, mostly Lebanese civilians.

STORYLINE:
United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Kofi Annan visited UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, a day after Italy and Turkey moved to join the international force there.
Annan and his entourage left Beirut on Tuesday morning in US helicopters, and landed in Naqoura, a town on the Mediterranean coast about four kilometres (2.5 miles) north of the Israeli border.
Naqoura is home to the headquarters of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) which has been based in southern Lebanon since 1978.
Annan reviewed an honour guard of UN troops in blue berets standing at attention on the green lawn inside the UN's white-walled compound, and then laid a wreath at a monument for peacekeepers killed in Lebanon since UNIFIL were deployed in 1978.
Muslim and Christian clergymen said prayers, and the UN chief stood in silence in front of a display of portraits of those killed, including four UNIFIL members killed in an Israeli airstrike on their base in Khiam on July 25.
Annan left Naqoura after about two and a half hours, flying along the Israel-Lebanon border by helicopter.
He was expected to survey two other UNIFIL posts by air, and then touch down at Khiam, before flying south to Israel.
The UN chief shook hands with members of the 2,000-member force, which is being expanded to 15,000 under the UN resolution that halted fighting between Israel and Hezbollah on August 14.
Flags of countries contributing troops to UNIFIL, including Annan's native Ghana, fluttered in the breeze as the band played their national anthems.
After talks with Lebanese leaders in Beirut, the UN Secretary-General faulted both Israel and Hezbollah for not living up to key sections of the cease-fire resolution, and warned that fighting could resume if the parties did not abide by the full resolution.
"With goodwill we can move faster than we are now," said Annan.

STORYLINE:
A ship carrying 200 French troops docked on Saturday at Beirut's port as the soldiers prepared to head to south Lebanon to join the UN peacekeeping force monitoring the cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas.
The amphibious ship La Foudre arrived around 8:30 a.m. (0530 GMT) and soldiers began filing out shortly afterward, witnesses and an AP photographer said.
The ship, which sailed from the Mediterranean port of Toulon on September 4, is also carrying some 100 armoured personnel carriers, trucks, weaponry and equipment for the troops.
France, which is temporarily leading the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon), has already contributed 250 troops.
President Jacques Chirac said on August 24 that France would increase its contribution to the UN force to 2,000 troops.
Additional troops were expected to arrive in the next few weeks.
The entire UNIFIL force is expected to increase to 15,000 soldiers.
France's contribution is to include Leclerc tanks, surface-to-surface artillery, short-range anti-aircraft missiles and radar.

I mean we are very thankful to the French government and its president (Jacques Chirac) and hopefully a lot of countries will continue and take such decisions. And as I said it is for the benefit of all humankind because it gives a lesson to other people, not to do such acts for other people."

"The new Turkish generation should take a lesson from their history. I mean, why should it effect it badly, look at the relationship between Israel and Germany, it's so good. It's one of the best relationships in the world so why it should effect our relationship. It's history, we are blaming Turkey because they are not recognising the massacre. But when they recognise it and I assume they will recognise it one day, then everything will be solved. We are neighbours, we should be good neighbours and we don't hate the Turks, we should live together with the Turks, I mean why not?"

STORYLINE:
Thousands of people from the Armenian community in Lebanon protested in downtown Beirut on Thursday, expressing their anger at the participation of Turkish troops in the peace keeping forces in South Lebanon.
Protestors carried the Armenian flags with banners reading 'Placing any Turkish troops in Southern Lebanon is an insult to the collective memory of the Armenian people'.
Hagop Bakradonian, a Lebanese member of parliament, said he felt that "Turkey can not be one of the peace keeping countries in the world because its history and its presence neglect the peace of the human right as well as it has much problems with the neighbours."
The United Nations peace force, known as UNIFIL, is monitoring the ceasefire in Lebanon between Israel and southern Lebanon-based Hezbollah militants, which brought an end to the 34-day conflict which ended on 14 August.
Meanwhile in the Armenian quarter in Jerusalem, Garo Sandrouni, an Armenian ceramic artist welcomed the decision of French parliament on the Armenian holocaust.
Garo said the decision was important on a humanitarian level and may be a lesson to prevent a similar scenario in the future.
French lawmakers on Thursday approved a bill making it a crime to deny that the mass killings of Armenians in Turkey during and after World War I amounted to genocide.

STORYLINE:
United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Kofi Annan visited UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, a day after Italy and Turkey moved to join the international force there.
Annan and his entourage left Beirut on Tuesday morning in US helicopters, and landed in Naqoura, a town on the Mediterranean coast about four kilometres (2.5 miles) north of the Israeli border.
Naqoura is home to the headquarters of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) which has been based in southern Lebanon since 1978.
UNIFIL was originally tasked with monitoring Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon and helping the Lebanese government restore its authority along the border.
Their long time presence in Lebanon and their inability to secure peace along the border with Israel has led many Lebanese to place little hope in the latest peacekeeping mission.
"As long as the UN and namely the security council are hostage to the US, everything will still be the same. We hope it doesn't get worse at the UN," one man said.
After a briefing by UNIFIL commander French Major General Alain Pellegrini, Annan reviewed an honour guard of UN troops in blue berets standing at attention on the green lawn inside the UN's white-walled compound.
A military band played alongside them.
Annan then laid a wreath at a monument for peacekeepers killed in Lebanon since UNIFIL were deployed in 1978.
Muslim and Christian clergymen said prayers, and the UN chief stood in silence in front of a display of portraits of those killed, including four UNIFIL members killed in an Israeli airstrike on their base in Khiam on July 25.

STORYLINE:
UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon), was evacuating family of UN staff and dozens of Europeans from Lebanon's southern port city of Tyre, a region that has seen a ferocious pounding by Israeli warplanes and gunboats for days.
Hundreds of families had camped out on beaches near Tyre waiting for a chartered Greek cruise ship to arrive.
On Thursday morning, landing boats ferried 642 people - 142 UNIFIL family members and 502 other foreigners, mainly French - out to the ship, which will probably depart for Cyprus.
The Israeli-Hezbollah fighting erupted on July 12 after the guerrilla group launched a cross-border attack on an Israeli military patrol, killing eight soldiers and capturing two.
About 300 Lebanese, most of them civilians, and 29 Israelis have been killed in the fighting.
The 2,000-strong UN force known as UNIFIL monitors the Blue Line separating Lebanon and Israel, which is not an official border but was drawn by the United Nations to mark Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in May 2000.

STORYLINE:
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon once again urged Lebanese politicians on Friday to elect a new president on time and without foreign interference, warning that the country currently stands at a critical crossroads.
Ban, speaking at a news conference he held at Beirut airport after meeting separately with the leaders of opposing Lebanese factions, suggested that any new president should be committed to the implementation of United Nations resolutions.
"The election has to take place on time in accordance with constitutional rules and without foreign interference and respecting the relevant security council resolutions," Ban said, in an apparent reference to Syria, which has been accused by the United States and Lebanon's anti-Syrian parliament majority of blocking the election.
Damascus has denied the allegation.
He called on the new president to be selected with the broadest possible support and said it was time "for all Lebanese leaders to put the national interest above personal sectarian interest".
"I appeal to all leaders in Lebanon to do the right things and I wish them all good luck in the best interest of their country, the region and international peace and security," Ban said.
During the news conference, Ban also referred to the role of UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) and reiterated the force's commitment "to stay as long as it is necessary."
"The mandate of UNIFIL is to carry out their task for the peace and security in Lebanon," Ban said.
Ban spoke after meeting on Friday with the head of the influential Maronite Catholic Church, Cardinal Nasrallah Sfeir, and politicians from the ruling anti-Syrian coalition.
He also met with Druse leader Walid Jumblatt - head of the Socialist Progressive Party - and officials of the Shiite Muslim Hezbollah group.
Parliament is supposed to pick a new president before the term of current President Emile Lahoud ends on November 24.
But the Western-backed ruling coalition and the Hezbollah-led opposition have been unable to agree on a candidate - sparking Lebanon's most serious political rift since the end of the 1975-90 civil war.
Ban warned of the possible repercussions of such a power vacuum.

Sadness
The story's been told a million fold
Of an artist's search for fame
As the years go by
His soul cries out in vain
All in fun when all's been done
Can you bear the weight
The tears you cry
Will never change your fate
Chorus: Lust for life
And hands that worked so clever
The sadness lasts forever
When the battles been lost a costly cost
Rotting in the grave
As the years go by
The world is left to blame
