- The European Union is considering a mission to train the Lebanese army in the coming months.

- UNIFIL has about 7,500 personnel from nearly 50 countries and has operated in southern Lebanon since 1978.
The European Union is looking to launch a mission to train the Lebanese army in the coming months, but it says the effort would not replace the United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon.
UNIFIL has roughly 7,500 personnel drawn from nearly 50 countries. The force has been in place since 1978.
The proposed EU mission would therefore operate alongside, rather than in place of, the long-standing U.N. deployment.
