Why is Israel targeting peacekeepers in Lebanon?
Update: 2024-10-25
Description
We're joined by Dr Shelley Deane, researcher at DCU’s School of Law and Government, to examine the deepening crisis in southern Lebanon following Israel's invasion. The UN has maintained a presence in the region since the late 1970s and members of the Irish Defence Forces continue to play a significant role in that mission. They are now under almost unprecedented threat. Israel's focus is on eliminating Hezbollah, but in doing so has launched a series of attacks on UN peacekeeping positions. What is happening on the ground? How could the international community response? And is all this becoming a distraction from what's still happening in Gaza?
