Irish peacekeepers in Lebanon safe after Israeli air strikes, says Tánaiste

Household items lie destroyed at a home after rockets struck in Katzrin, in the the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights after Lebanon's Hezbollah launched more than 50 rockets, hitting a number of private homes in the area.

Tánaiste Micheál Martin has confirmed that all Irish troops based in Lebanon are safe following a series of airstrikes by Israel against Hezbollah.

Israeli forces said on Sunday that they had launched pre-emptive strikes at the militant group, as Hezbollah confirmed that they sent drone strikes into Israel as retaliation for the killing of top commander Fouad Shukur.
