Israel Accused of Attacking Irish Peacekeepers in Lebanon
Irish peacekeepers in southern Lebanon came under fire from small arms during a joint patrol with the Lebanese Armed Forces near the Blue Line. No injuries or damage resulted, and the patrol withdrew from the area. The Irish government strongly condemned the attack, deeming it unacceptable and intimidatory, and the Irish Defence Forces reiterated their commitment to maintaining stability in the region. The incident highlights the ongoing dangers faced by peacekeepers in this volatile area.
