The Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Simon Harris has described Israel’s attack on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon as a breach of international law.

Speaking to BBC News in Washington DC, Harris said it was an "extraordinarily concerning development". The IDF has acknowledged that its troops "opened fire in the area" of the base in Naqoura on Thursday after instructing UN troops to "remain in protected spaces". Ireland has 379 troops in Lebanon as part of the UNIFIL peacekeeping mission. None were hurt in Thursday's attacks but two Indonesian soldiers were injured.

The taoiseach described attacks on three United Nations Interim Force positions in Lebanon (UNIFIL) as "really dangerous, despicable attacks on peacekeepers".

He added that the IDF had positioned themselves at a UNIFIL outpost which was being manned by about 30 Irish peacekeepers, but had since moved following UN and US intervention.

Even more fucked up then I've heard so far, they're literally taking over outposts...

I'm really starting to think Bibi's plan is seize power and flip loyalties to Putin.

If they help Bibi coup, and get trump in office in America...

Putin's going to do anything possible to get that, he'd be able to end Ukraine, and stand up to the UN itself if you add in NK and other countries for sheer amount of soldiers for the meat grinder.

And it's pretty much the only way to win Ukraine is flip at least one of the two.
