Defence Forces Update 20 Oct 2024
The Defence Forces can confirm that all Irish Peacekeepers are accounted for and well.
Today as part of Operation Fág an Bealach, UNP 6-52 and UNP 6-50 were successfully resupplied, thanks to the successful route clearance operation from UNP 2-45 to both locations. This multi-phase operation was meticulously planned with the force protection of the soldiers being a priority. A broad spectrum of skills and capabilities within the 124th Inf Bn were utilised to ensure safety and mission success.
The Force Commander Lieutenant General Aroldo Lázaro Sáenz, also took this opportunity to visit the Blue Line positions.
The sustainment of the Blue Line Posts will allow for the continued occupation and operation from these positions.
Irish peacekeepers continue to monitor and report any violations of UNSCR 1701 by all parties involved, maintaining an independent and impartial stance.
Please see the UNIFIL statement issued today for an update on the recent activities in the UNIFIL AO.

Welcome news that a resupply convoy got through to Outposts 6-52 & 6-50 on the Blue Line today.
Incredible photo of the hazardous route clearance op that made this possible.
The armoured bulldozer behind is only made of iron, it is the lone scout up front who is made of steel…
