Convoy of two armoured utility vehicles travelling to Beirut came under small arms fire, Ireland’s defence forces said
An Irish peacekeeper has been killed and another seriously wounded in a gun attack after a hostile crowd surrounded Irish members of the UN peacekeeping force in south Lebanon.
The incident happened on Wednesday night when a convoy of two armoured utility vehicles with UN markings passed near the village of Aqibya, just outside the force’s area of operations in a strip along Lebanon’s southern border with Israel.
