Irish soldiers serving in southern Lebanon have been targeted again – just months after the murder there of Private Sean Rooney, it has emerged.
The Irish Mirror has confirmed that an Irish UN jeep from the unit that replaced slain Pte Rooney’s battalion last month was surrounded by an angry crowd for more than an hour.
We have established that cars were also used to hem in the Armoured Utility Vehicle – and that members of the crowd attacked the jeep.
