Turkey extends UNIFIL mandate in Lebanon by one year

The Turkish Parliament approved Friday the extension of the Turkish contingent operating with the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon by one year.

This extension is the sixth since Turkey approved the mission in September 2006.

The UNIFIL currently has 13,000 troops from different countries deployed in south Lebanon.

Turkey’s contribution includes 1,000 Turkish troops, and several warships deployed off the Lebanese coast to prevent weapons supplies from reaching Hezbollah by the sea.
