BEIRUT, Aug. 12 -- On August 10, the 24th Chinese Peacekeeping Force to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) successfully completed the clearance and remediation operation at the UNIFIL integrated training ground and passed a joint inspection by the UNIFIL Headquarters.

Over more than 10 days, the Chinese peacekeepers completed all clearance and remediation work in areas including three firing ranges, an ammunition disposal site, perimeter roads, and affiliated parking lots. They detected and cleared 167 signal sources, including bullets and shell fragments, thoroughly eliminating all safety hazards at the site.

The UNIFIL Headquarters compound has reportedly been struck on multiple occasions by small-arms fire, artillery shells, and armed drones, resulting in a number of dangerous situations. Since being deployed there on an urgent mission in late March, the Chinese peacekeepers have repaired 2,600 meters of protective barriers, maintained 12,000 square meters of facilities within the compound, and transported 2,420 cubic meters of sand and gravel, erecting a robust protective shield for the UNIFIL command against the spillover of hostilities.
