BEIRUT: The Lebanese Army and the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon conducted a joint-naval maneuver over the weekend off the coast of the Mediterranean.
Rounds of artillery were fired during the maneuver as three vessels of the Lebanese Navy joined four other vessels from UNIFIL’s Maritime Task Force that were deployed in 2006.
“This maneuver is yet another record of the significant relationship between the MTF and the Lebanese Navy,” said UNIFIL commander Major-General Alberto Asarta.
