News 📅 5 November 2026 📍 Lebanon

UNIFIL said on 5 November that it will begin reducing personnel and withdrawing after its Security Council mandate expires on 31 December 2026. Lebanese independent outlet L’Orient Today reported the statement; the end date and a one-year orderly withdrawal were already set by Security Council Resolution 2790 (2025), so this confirms the existing schedule rather than announcing a new Council decision. UNIFIL said it would continue monitoring, liaison, support for the Lebanese army and facilitation of humanitarian missions until the mandate ends.
