Irish peacekeepers have come under fire while serving in Lebanon.
The Defence Forces have confirmed a patrol from the 127 Infantry Battalion operating with Unifil was fired upon near Bint Jbeil.
All members were reported to be safe after the small-arms fire incident.
Minister for Defence Helen McEntee said the development “constitutes a direct and unacceptable breach of the UN Security Council resolution”.
She said: “I have been fully briefed by the Chief of Staff and I want to commend the personnel involved for their professionalism in extremely challenging circumstances.
“I am particularly relieved that all members of the patrol returned safely to base.
“Defence Forces personnel continue to play a vital role in south Lebanon and their commitment and conduct remain of the highest standard.”
