All Irish peacekeepers in Lebanon are “safe and well” following “aggressive postures adopted by the Israeli Defence Forces” in recent days, which included a UN peacekeeping position being hit with direct fire and Irish personnel being among those observed by an “unwelcome” laser light.
Irish personnel performing a patrol with the Lebanese army last night noted “the presence of a laser light near their position; this frequently indicates that they were being observed using an optical sight which includes a laser light module,” a spokesperson for the Irish Defence Forces said.
