Minister for Foreign Affairs Dermot Ahern is today due to visit 150 Irish troops during a visit to Lebanon.
The UNIFIL contingent, drawn from the 34th Infantry Group, is stationed at Camp Ida to monitor a truce between Hizbullah and Israel.
Last summer's month-long conflict resulted in hundreds of civilian causalities and millions of euro in damage to infrastructure in Lebanon.
Mr Ahern, who is concluding a four-day visit to the Middle East, is also expected to meet Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora in Beirut. Since Tuesday, the Minister has held talks on the Middle East peace process with members of the Israeli, Palestinian and Egyptian governments.
Mr Ahern also announced an €11.4 million aid package to support Palestinian refugees living in the Occupied Territories, as well as in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan.
