Should we be worried about Irish troops in Lebanon?

The Israeli military has said it hit dozens of Hezbollah targets in several areas of southern Lebanon overnight.

Yesterday, Israeli air strikes killed at least 492 people, including 35 children, the health ministry said, marking the deadliest day of cross-border violence since the Gaza war began.

A spokesperson for the Defence Forces has confirmed that all Irish soldiers currently deployed in Lebanon are “safe and accounted for”. But, should we be worried for their safety in future?

Andrea is joined by Senator Tom Clonan, Security analyst, Retired Army Officer, Independent Senator and Dorcha Lee Retired Army Colonel and Peacekeeper and Raymond Murphy, Professor at the Irish Centre For Human Rights to discuss.
