Ireland's foreign minister Micheal Martin on Friday condemned an attack by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon that left two United Nations peacekeepers wounded.
On Thursday, the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, UNIFIL, said Israeli fire on their headquarters in the country's south injured two Blue Helmets.
Prime minister Simon Harris said he was "deeply concerned" at the reports but Martin, who is also deputy prime minister, went further, calling it "an extraordinary development, quite shocking."
"This marks a very serious intensification of IDF (Israeli army) hostility towards U.N. forces and U.N. posts. Absolutely unacceptable. What happened over the last 48 hours prior to this was reckless and intimidatory," he said.
