Summary
After a grueling six-month tour in Lebanon, 160 Irish peacekeepers from the 127th Infantry Battalion are finally home — reunited with loved ones at Dublin Airport in emotional scenes of joy and relief. Their mission included high-stakes operations like airlifting a wounded Ghanaian soldier and securing UN posts amid escalating tensions, even surviving a December ambush. As they return, the 128th Battalion deploys in their stead, with Ireland pledging to complete its UNIFIL commitment by end of 2026, beginning a phased withdrawal in 2027 — honoring 48 years of service and ensuring a safe, orderly exit.
