Israel has launched a limited ground operation in Lebanon where the terrorist organization Hezbollah has influence. On September 30, Israeli forces entered the Lebanese border following an Israeli Defense Force operation. According to the information available on the social media of the Israeli Defense Force, about 600 Indian soldiers are deployed on the Blue Line, about 120 km away between Israel and Lebanon. However, these soldiers are not from Israel or Lebanon but are serving under a United Nations peacekeeping mission.
According to the information received, Indian soldiers cannot be called unilaterally in a tense situation. However, the safety of soldiers is of paramount importance for India. On 11 March 1978, the Palestine Liberation Army (PLA) attacked Israel, killing 37 civilians. In response to this attack in the area near the Lebanese border, Israel attacked not Lebanon but Palestine's Gaza Strip and West Bank. PLA had bases near the river Litani in the southern part of Lebanon. Israel occupied the entire southern part of Lebanon.
On March 15, a complaint was made to the General Council of the United Nations about Israel's attack on Lebanon. Lebanon clarified that we have nothing to do with PLA. On March 19, a resolution was passed ordering Israel to withdraw its forces from Lebanon, but Israel refused to comply. The troops withdrew from Lebanon in late 2000.

Here Indian Army soldiers are doing duty under the United Nations Peace Keeping Force. In 1978, when the United Nations refused to withdraw troops from Israel, a peacekeeping unit was established, which remains in place today. What is called the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, in which 600 Indian personnel are to be deployed,
Apart from India, a total of more than 10 thousand soldiers are deployed in countries like Italy, France, Spain, Turkey, China and Ghana. Working closely with United Nations peacekeepers. If these soldiers withdraw from the front, there could be widespread violence between Hezbollah and Israel. Therefore, it is important that UN peacekeeping forces remain on the front lines. The force does not take sides, it acts only on the basis of international law. It also has the authority to protect civilians in war-torn areas. Attacking peacekeeping forces is considered a war crime.
