We have asked to take necessary precautions: Nepali Army

While the tense situation is arising between the Hezbollah group of Lebanon and Israel after the missile attack against each other, the area where the Nepalese peacekeepers are stationed in Lebanon under the United Nations Federal Peacekeeping Mission is safe so far.

Hezbollah and Israel are attacking each other with rockets, drones and missiles. 9,532 troops from different countries are stationed under the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) mission for peacekeeping in Lebanon, and only about 850 soldiers are working from the Nepalese army.

According to Assistant Rathi Gauravkumar KC, spokesperson of Nepali Army, the Gana Headquarters of Nepali Army is stationed under the UNIFIL mission in the southwest part of Lebanon. There are units of Nepali peace soldiers in 6 other places under Gana.

KC, the spokesperson of the army, said that after the details of the attacks between Hezbollah and Israel came out, they are in regular contact with the Nepalese mission and looking at the current situation, the situation in the GAN headquarters and subordinate areas is risk-free.

But considering the risk that the attack may affect the subordinated areas, UNIFIL Spokesperson KC informed that the mission headquarters has also asked to take necessary precautions and the Nepali Army has also asked its troops to be cautious about it. Since 1955, the Nepalese army has been working in Lebanon to establish peace. Since March 23, 1978, the army has been continuously deployed as a platoon.

Lebanon's Hezbollah group has fired hundreds of missiles at northern Israel on Sunday . After the assassination of Hezbollah's commander in Beirut, Hezbollah launched an attack against Israel. In response to Hezbollah's attacks, Israel is also retaliating with jets.

Israel launched hundreds of rockets and drones against Israel on Sunday in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukar in Beirut last month. Israel has said that Hezbollah's big attack has been thwarted. While the two sides are continuing to attack each other, the Nepali Army has made it clear that the situation in the subordinate areas is normal so far amid the risk of its impact on the area where the peacekeeping mission is deployed. Israel is invading southern Lebanon targeting Hezbollah.
