Ireland Denounced the IDF Attacks on UN Peacekeepers

Ireland’s Taoiseach Simon Harris on Oct. 12 demanded that the Israel Defense Forces stop firing on United Nations peacemakers in southern Lebanon. There are 347 Irish soldiers in the 10,000-man UNIFIL force, according to a Times of Israel report of the attacks. “Israel must stop firing on UN peacekeepers serving with UNIFIL in Lebanon,” said the Irish Prime Minister said in a statement. “Israel must listen to the voice and the concerns of the international community.”
