This study analyzes the response of Peacekeeping-Intelligence (PKI) staff at the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to the challenges they faced since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, 2023. Although the war did not occur within UNIFIL’s Area of Operations (AO), its impact was immediate and significant, resulting in continuous deterioration due to exchanges of fire between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Hezbollah. During this period, the staff continuously examined and attempted to apply guidance from key documents published by the UN Department of Peace Operations (DPO), including the “UN PKI Policy” and the UN Military PKI Handbook. For a comprehensive understanding of how UNIFIL PKI staff have tackled the challenges, the analysis part of this study is structured around the four steps of the PKI cycle: direction, acquisition, analysis, and dissemination. Each section of the analysis defines the meaning of its respective step, presents the identified challenges in the PKI implementation process at UNIFIL, examines the responses by UNIFIL PKI staff, and provides lessons learned and suggestions for the future. Key findings show that the guidance in the aforementioned documents was clear but often ignored in practice. In the context of UN peacekeeping operations, the significance of information acquisition by UN soldiers' patrols and through Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) was evident. Additionally, while the production of analysis is a key part of PKI implementation, the study highlighted the vital importance of the processes preceding analysis, including collation, and those following it, such as delivering easily understandable reporting, especially during high-tempo situation.
