The Irish troops watching Israel's hidden war - BBC News

Показать описание

Along Israel's northern border with Lebanon, since 7 October the Israel Defence Forces have also been engaged in continuous fighting against the Lebanon-based Islamist armed group and political party Hezbollah.

The group are seen as terrorists by governments including the UK, and have long been opposed to Israel’s presence in disputed lands in the south of the country - resulting not in a border, but a so-called ‘blue line’ drawn by the UN, dividing the two nations.

From the Lebanese front line, embedded with Irish UN peacekeeping troops, Nafiseh Kohnavard reports.

I am Mexican and the Irish have friends all over the world, in Mexico they are very respected thanks to the Saint Patrick's Battalion (what a story!)

I wish the UK and Ireland could be closer and get on better, I'm not one to be like this but historically Britain has done Ireland dirty (excluding the whole northern Ireland thing)

We seriously need to make amends with Ireland, our ancestors commited a genocide in Ireland hundreds of years ago, and although we are not responsible for their actions, we should take "extreme ownership" of the history we've inherited.

I love Ireland, writing from England.

Ireland has served as peace keepers all over. They are respected throughout the 🌎. They have proved themselves as true Warrior's of peace and great kindness, despite losing there comrades . True Professionals.

I might be a brit on my passport, but my heritage and heart is Celtic.

The Irish are by far the strongest of the Celtic family and they set a fine example for the rest of us.

Best peace keepers around, too.

Just wanted to mention, in reply to some commenters who made remarks about the peacekeeping, that 47 Irish UNIFIL lost their lives over the years. They are there, along with their UNIFIL colleagues from several other countries, to try and save lives on all sides.
