## Resource

One hundred sixty Irish soldiers returned home after a six-month tour in Lebanon’s volatile conflict zone, where they served with UNIFIL amid airstrikes and gunfire. They pulled off high-stakes rescues, including a nighttime medevac and critical resupply missions, earning praise from commanders and emotional welcomes from families at Dublin Airport. Though exhausted and heartbroken by the devastation they witnessed, they’re now resting — but Ireland’s mission isn’t over. The 128th Battalion is stepping in, and while UNIFIL’s official end is set for 2027, Ireland remains committed, using its elite forces as vital eyes and ears for global stability.
