The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) officially handed over a military position to the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon’s Khardali area on Thursday, Anadolu reports.
The move comes as part of a broader plan to transfer several longstanding UNIFIL positions to Lebanese army control.
According to the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA), the position — located near an army facility in the Khardali-Litani area — was handed over to the Lebanese army’s 7th Brigade.
The handover comes in line with a UN Security Council decision to end UNIFIL’s mission in Lebanon by the end of this year.
It also comes amid efforts to implement security arrangements linked to a “framework agreement” signed between Lebanon and Israel in late June.
