BEIRUT (Reuters) - The U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon said Israel ended its naval blockade on Lebanon on Friday after an international naval force became operational off the Lebanese coast.

"About two hours ago the interim maritime task force became operational to help the Lebanese forces patrol Lebanese territorial waters until a UNIFIL naval force takes over," Alexander Ivanko, spokesman for the commander of UNIFIL peacekeepers, Major-General Alain Pellegrini, told Reuters.

"The UNIFIL commander understands that the blockade has been lifted," he said.
