The United Nations Security Council on Thursday unanimously extended a long-running peacekeeping mission in Lebanon until the end of 2026, when the operation will then begin a year-long "orderly and safe drawdown and withdrawal."
The UN Interim Force in Lebanon, established in 1978, patrols Lebanon's southern border with Israel.
