The reduction in violence has allowed peacekeepers to increase their activities—from operational tasks & coordination efforts to engagement with local communities. Recently, UNIFIL distributed more than 800 hygiene kits across six municipalities, benefiting over 4,000 residents.

Not every image tells the full story. Photos taken out of context can spread fear and misinformation. Before you believe or share, ask one simple question: Who is the source? Verify the facts. Share responsibly. Be part of the truth—not the spread of misinformation.

Despite a reduction in violence, the situation in southern #Lebanon remains fragile, as displaced families return to damaged homes lacking even basic utilities. @UNIFIL_ peacekeepers continue monitoring the situation despite ongoing challenges, spokesperson @hikandice says.

Peacekeepers continue monitoring developments and engaging with the parties, and supporting local communities wherever possible, including by helping repair damaged roads and other infrastructure. This supports recovery while improving access for our own operational activities.

While the level of violence has decreased since late June, the situation remains fragile. Dialogue, coordination and a sustained operational presence remain essential to reducing tensions and restoring stability in the region.

A simple conversation can turn “I heard” into “it’s true” when information isn’t checked. Misinformation often starts without a clear source—it begins with us, passing on unverified words that quickly become a “credible source.” Before sharing: Check. Verify. Share responsibly.
