Irish troops safe as Taoiseach and Tanaiste condemn 'unacceptable' actions of Israel in 'firing on Unifil positions in Lebanon'

"It is reprehensible and unacceptable to injure peacekeepers and to put them in harm's way. Israel has an obligation to protect peacekeepers and its actions are in breach of international humanitarian law. There needs to be full accountability for these actions."

"I am deeply concerned by reports that the Israeli Defence Forces have fired at Unifil positions at its headquarters in Naqoura. We send our solidarity to the military personnel who suffered light injuries as a result."
