## Resource

For nearly 50 years, thousands of peacekeepers from about 50 countries have been watching the unofficial border between Lebanon and Israel, called the Blue Line. In the past three months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, seven peacekeepers have died. Tensions on the border have worsened since last August, when the UN Security Council voted to end the current UN mission by the end of this year. However, the UN Secretary-General is now suggesting a new peacekeeping mission.
