This is the moment shells started falling on villages near one of the two camps where Defence Forces soldiers are on peace-keeping duty in southern Lebanon.

As a senior officer can be heard issuing orders at the assembled men and women of the 123rd Infantry Battalion on St Patrick’s Day, a video pans across to nearby villages and a large explosion can be seen in the background.
