As the situation in the Middle East turns grim with the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, the Indian Army, stationed at the Israel-Lebanon border under the United Nations peacekeeping forces, is closely monitoring the situation.
Nearly 600 Indian soldiers are deployed along the Israel-Lebanon border as part of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) mission.
Their role in this volatile region is focused on maintaining peace and preventing escalations, not on direct involvement in the conflict. According to defence sources, the Indian Army is closely observing the situation on the ground where Indian troops are stationed.
The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah intensified after a series of explosions in pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah. The Iran-backed militant group launched missiles at Israel, prompting Tel Aviv to announce extensive strikes across Lebanon.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) targeted several areas in Lebanon, hitting Hezbollah strongholds and ammunition storage sites. The IDF claimed to have struck more than 300 Hezbollah targets, disrupting the group's plans to fire thousands of rockets into Israel.
