Monster Distribution Center In Corona

BELUFIL: Tribute to Ibrahim El Ali Belgian Luxembourg contingent of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, UNIFIL. The project carried out by

Here already more than a year, March 7 2007, Pandur carrying four Belgian peacekeepers had fallen into a ravine on the road between the villages of Kfar Shuba and Shebaa, killing three soldiers, WO1 Pauwels Luc, Thierry De Bakker Cpl and Cpl Roger Bergen.

Through their sacrifice in our mountains Bible, I just pay tribute to the Belgian forces to UNIFIL and to testify on behalf of my NGO Mawassem khair (Harvest charity) of the deep gratitude Population for all services rendered and assistance given by the Belgian soldiers in Lebanon and Luxembourg.

(Padre Eric Pétré camp scorpion sending a prayer. Opposite Colonel Hendrik Van Sluijs)

His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Brabant, Prince of Belgium, came to bring the families of Deceased support to the Royal Palace and the entire United Belgium.


To bring my modest contribution in memory of the dead for your country, I have offered a cedar of Lebanon planted next to the plaques.



On 15,000 troops to UNIFIL, the Belgo-Luxembourg battalion is composed of 367 soldiers from that of the ten provinces of Belgium and Luxembourg two soldiers. This detachment has a military field hospital, an engineering detachment versatile, a protection element (Force Protection), a logistics support element and a detachment of implementation of communication systems and information. Their mission is to help rebuild the country and provide humanitarian assistance in support of UNIFIL and the Lebanese government.
The mission entrusted to them within UNIFIL, gives them a capital sympathy superior to other garrisons, because very strongly tinged with humanitarian and reconstruction of the country, I can testify that every time I encountered a need for the Mayor of the municipality, I asked to speak first to the Belgian.


















For example, the municipality of Shaqra beside Tibnin, seeking the assistance of Belgian engineering for the reconstruction of the dome of the mosque, this was done with the participation of local workers and a welcoming and friendly. The population then shared tea and pastries with Lebanese Belgian soldiers during construction.



















Major hass

Participatory Rehabilitation and reconstruction with the full support of the population under the direction of Major Hass.

From medical

If there is a mark of recognition of people wounded and bereaved by the War of Tammuz is well in the medical field that takes its signification.Le pillar camp medical scorpion lives in Tibnin comprises means of egress, provides care for military personnel and has a capacity of surgical and dental care.
These treatments are of such quality that the Lebanese hospitals and doctors complained of a significant drop in their turnover. In just over thirty days, over 2053 medical procedures were administered.

services field hospital are surgical procedures, receiving patients, intensive care, dental care. A radiology department, laboratory service and medical supply and medication. The population

permanent reminder of an exceptional quality of services and satisfaction of humanitarian aid supplied to it. A new ambulance was delivered to the hospital in Tibnin.

Regarding demining

After health, demining done by the engineering detachment gives the people the means to regain quiet to go in their gardens, tilling their fields, and pick olives. In this area of southern Lebanon a veritable carpet of unexploded bombs constantly threatens the population, and while there is still a mine or an airplane flying in the sky Lebanese, it will always feel in danger.

To witness, you should see the smile of local peasant, every time we clean up its field by removing a bomb or s clusters (cluster bombs)















The detachment performs engineering reconnaissance of roads and areas in order to neutralize unexploded ordnance and mines with combat engineers or EOD teams (Explosive Ordnance Disposal).














(two friends Demu Maurice and Daniel Derne experts clearance divers)

The EOD detachment also has the ability neutralize IEDs (Improvised Explosive Device). This one makes a daunting task, using any military logistics to the profile of the population.


(In this house destroyed during the war and reconstruction, dig a hole 7 meters, was a danger to the foundation, he took the advice of an expert architect, the owner's permission before .. bomb unearthed fuss.)











( I present to you a large clearance, the knight Modern Eric Vold)

We have repeatedly bombs unearthed at more than 8 meters deep freeing the people of a danger and an anxious day, a bomb in the town of Majdal located in the heart of a school, to Shaqra in tobacco fields just near the town hall, one Sriffa over 1000 kilos.















Here the Belgian army with proper equipment for lifting large bombs, perfectly complements the work of humanitarian demining organizations such as Handicap International, HAMAP, or Mac (mine action coordination).

Relaxation and recreation for
I used to tease my Belgian friends in their shouting "Guys we are not at the Riviera," yet at times, the climate of detente with the people, satisfied with be rid of weapons of death in the middle of their home, offers a moment of peace to the soldiers of the UNIFIL.















While deminers chart a safe passage for driving the engineering work, the team safety, health, interpreter, and EOD leaders take a long break in the sunshine just across the Lebanese Mount Hermon.
















We have the same right to "peoples" here Henin Emmanuel , yes the famous cousin of Justine Henin , why not future Godmother of our actions to protect the environment, Lebanon, Africa and throughout the Mediterranean. To be continued .... !




Here, a Belgian sorcerer, knight of modern times, EOD, diver Daniel Derde Minesweeper. That was nearly 5 hours we tried this with every bomb detection devices magnetic unsuccessfully until Daniel brings his two divining rods that detect magnetic variations between the earth and a canister of 500 pounds . Yes it works!

Aid For Municipalities

(here, I explained to Colonel of the importance and preservation of biodiversity in Lebanon, left Adj.majoor Dany Scheerling who celebrated his retirement from the army with us!)

BELUFIL differs considerably in the services it provides to the various municipalities within the area assigned as part of its mission within the UNIFIL . An excellent job of communicating with timetables, explanations, photos are distributed in town halls, plus information campaigns for the mine in schools.
The list is so comprehensive, I'll just give some examples. I already talked to the ambulance offered at the hospital in Tibnin, generators are regularly funded in the municipalities.

Event BELUFIL

Each troop rotation Bélufil which lasts about four months, the camp hosts at the castle of scorpion Tibnin, a day "sports and recreation" for children of all surrounding municipalities.

Several activities are offered with secure rope jumping, climbing, games, coloring, painting, horseshoe, the list is long, but the bottom line is the total acceptance of people for these forces in Belgium and Luxembourg of UNIFIL ..









The atmosphere of this day is like a first outing to the park by Disney wonder, excited children in front of all the proposed activities, and especially the care and kindness of the Belgian soldiers softening times of war and bellicose climate always in the news revived and fueled by comments from their parents.

The war in Lebanon is present at every moment.

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Grand Duchy is represented by two soldiers in BELUFIL integrated as part of their mission within the Interim Force UN in Lebanon. His
Minister for Cooperation and Humanitarian Action Jean-Louis Schiltz in an interview reported "not forget that Lebanon is next door! "The two soldiers involved in demining operations in our hills of olive and fig trees. Your excellency! Lebanon is the gateway to the Mediterranean and the key origin of all civilizations.


(Major Hoffman officer Luxembourgers true flagship of the Grand Duchy)

These two soldiers are in the image of Belgium, few compared to the total workforce UNIFIL, and yet condemning all minds by the quality of human relationships and their willingness to fulfill humanitarian missions participating in the reconstruction of torn Lebanon.

(a large and experienced demining Luxembourg Patrick Depaoli )


I just want to renew my gratitude through my friends and Hoffmann Major Patrick Depaoli EOD minesweeper, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. In conclusion



Two anecdotes reminisce in my mind now that I want to conclude.

When Belgium has long been without a government, in Scorpio camp, we felt strengthened unity among its members and reminded me of a Belgian officer that Lebanon and Belgium had a common destiny and similarities in their need to weld and build the unity of their country.





(Lebanon Luxembourg Belgium united here for the reconstruction of the Cedar Country)

The second anecdote is in a tomb, 8 meters deep, with the minesweeper Daniel, my Belgian witch, when The shovel had hit the rock to fall deeper and find that damned bomb of 500 pounds. Then I turned to Daniel and asked him:
There is no risk of explosion if the excavator hits with force on the bomb? He turns to me, look, breathe deeply, and replied ... ... .. Ibrahim "there is always a risk! Ibrahim Ali El
