The Indian Army is keeping a close watch on the situation in Lebanon amid the ongoing Israeli attacks.
The war between Israel and Lebanon has been going on for 8 days. More than 700 people have died so far in this war. At the same time, Israel has killed the commanders of Hezbollah’s missile and drone units in an airstrike.
Meanwhile, an Indian Army soldier posted in Israel was brought to India by air ambulance on Thursday morning. According to reports, the name of the soldier is Havildar Suresh R (33), who was admitted in a hospital in Israel for the last 30 days.
He has suffered head injuries, due to which he was unable to recognize places and people. However, the reason for his injury is not clear. Suresh was involved in the UNDOF Force, the United Nations mission in Israel’s Golan Heights. Apart from Israel, 900 Indian soldiers are also deployed on the Israeli border in Lebanon.
Israel is continuously attacking the southern border of Lebanon, which is being monitored by the Indian Army.
In such a situation, the question arises that what are the Indian soldiers doing on the Israel border amidst the war? We know the answer to this question in this story…
Indian soldiers deployed to stop war in Israel-Lebanon It is March 1978. Pro-Palestinian militants present in Lebanon brutally murdered dozens of Jews near Tel Aviv. To avenge these killings, the Israeli army launched an operation to eliminate terrorists in southern Lebanon. After this war started between the two countries. It was described as an attack on Lebanon by Israel.
When this matter reached the UN, the United Nations Security Council immediately passed a resolution to establish peace at this place. According to this proposal, the Israeli army was asked to immediately withdraw from the Lebanon border.
After this, international forces were deployed by the UN in Lebanon to maintain peace. These soldiers deployed by the UN are called United Nations Interim Force i.e. UNIFIL. UNIFIL has been deployed here since 1978. At present, 900 Indian soldiers are deployed near the Israel border in southern Lebanon.
The 110 kilometer area where UN forces are deployed in southern Lebanon is called the ‘Blue Line’. At present there are about 10,500 peacekeepers from 48 countries in the UN Peace Mission.
Now know what are UN Peace Makers and when was it created….
Indian soldiers sent on UN peace keeping mission in 1999 In 1999, retired Major General Rajpal Punia went for a mission in Sierra Leone, South Africa in the UN Peace Mission. To maintain peace here, he had to conduct operations against local small terrorist organizations. These terrorist organizations often used to commit violence here to put pressure on the local government. According to Poonia, this UN mission was so dangerous that soldiers of 16 countries had laid down their arms.
After this, the responsibility of completing this mission was given to the Indian Army by the UN. As soon as the Indian soldiers took charge, the entire company was surrounded by terrorists and asked to lay down their arms. Indian soldiers decided not to lay down their arms.
The terrorists had taken Pakistani soldiers hostage. When there was no way left, Indian soldiers started operations and saved the Pakistani soldiers. These Pakistani soldiers had saluted the Indian Army before returning from the mission.
Troubled by Indian soldiers in Africa, terrorists stopped ration trucks. They were not allowed to go anywhere. The entire battalion of 233 soldiers remained without food for 75 days. The situation became such that we had to eat rotis made of grass. Indian soldiers decided that they would not be afraid, they would be martyred while fighting.
At that time, Havildar Krishna Kumar, a resident of Himachal, was martyred while fighting the terrorists. Returned to India after fighting the terrorists with full respect. He told that a book named ‘Operation Khukri’ has also been written about the Indian Peace Makers soldiers deployed in the UN. Peace Keeping Mission 2001 was conducted in Sierra Leone.
