1. Droonit osuvat UNIFIL-leiriin.

The word 'leiriin' uses the illative case, which expresses movement into something (into the camp). It is formed here by adding '-in' to the stem 'leiri-'. The illative answers the question 'Mihin?' (Into what? / Where to?).

7. 176 sotilasta on Libanonissa.

In Finnish, when a number greater than one precedes a noun, the noun takes the partitive singular form ('sotilasta' instead of 'sotilaat'). This is different from English, where the plural form is used after all numerals.
