Contenuto pagina
Last June 2nd, in the United Nation Position 2-3 in Shama, the Italian peacekeepers of the UNIFIL
mission celebrated the Republic Day.
In the morning, a representation of blue helmets, among those who were free from services and
patrols, participated in the flag-raising ceremony which continued with the deposition of a wreath in honour of the fallen.
Brigade General Diego Filippo Fulco, commander of Joint Task Force Lebanon - Sector West, at the end of the reading of the messages from Italian Republic Presidence and by
Minister of defence Guerini, has recalled the importance of the service that is carried out
daily under the insignia of the UN, underlining how the commitment of the Italian troops in Lebanon
gives prestige to the Republic.
It was a simple ceremony that added to the particularity of the Lebanese event the attention to
all the preventive measures against the spread of Covid-19. Provisions and procedures that are being used by Italian military personnel employed abroad.
Currently JTFL-SW is composed by the "Grenadiers of Sardinia" Brigade. About 250 activities are carried out every day by the men and women of the Italian Army in southern Lebanon to ensure compliance with UN Resolution 1701 and to confirm with their work how professional and effective the Italian soldiers are in terms of peacekeeping.
