“Expanded after the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, the mission now monitors the ceasefire and supports the Lebanese army, with more than 7,500 peacekeepers deployed—though it has no mandate to intervene militarily.”

Web search results explicitly state that UNIFIL's mandate was expanded after the 2006 conflict (UNSCR 1701) to monitor hostilities and support the Lebanese Armed Forces. This corroborates the core elements of the claim regarding the post-2006 expansion and monitoring role.
