Malaysia Hands Over Assets to Lebanon as Peacekeeping Mission Ends
Malaysia's Armed Forces (ATM) have handed over 292 various types of assets belonging to the Malaysian Battalion (Malbatt) in Lebanon to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) as part of the withdrawal process from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) mission. The handover, worth around US$10 million, includes vehicles and equipment and is expected to benefit LAF and the local community in aspects of welfare, humanitarian aid, and security. This marks the end of almost two decades of Malaysia's involvement in peacekeeping missions in Lebanon.4 sourcesSee all sources
