Hundreds of Italian commandos are to land in Lebanon in the first major reinforcement to the United Nations mission monitoring a ceasefire between Israel and the Hezbollah Shiite militia. The 878 elite soldiers from the San Marco and Lagunari regiments are embarking on what Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi has called "a delicate mission, of enormous historical importance."
