In a first, Israelis to serve on U.N. force

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- An Israeli police delegation will leave for Haiti to serve as part of a U.N. multinational force, marking the first time Israelis will serve on a U.N. force.

The 14 police officers attended a ceremony at the Western Wall on Aug. 23 ahead of their scheduled departure. The delegation constitutes the first-ever Israeli group to serve in active duty under the command of the United Nations.

The police officers will remain in Haiti for an extended period of time.
