Germany has agreed to send troops to the multi-national United Nations (UNIFIL) force, whose mission is to keep Hizbullah terrorists from re-arming and staging attacks on Israel, according to a German newspaper quoted by Reuters News Agency.

Angela Merkel previously has said Germany might send troops in the future but that it is too early to decide. The government is concerned how the image of its Nazi past would affect its ability to be accepted by Israel as peacekeepers.
