rmy bosses confirmed the attack – which the Defence Forces calls a Denial of Freedom of Movement, or DFOM incident
Irish soldiers serving in southern Lebanon have been targeted again – just months after the murder there of Private Sean Rooney, it has emerged.We have established that cars were also used to hem in the Armoured Utility Vehicle – and that members of the crowd attacked the jeep.And the Irish hero who commanded the jeep when the attack took place and got his soldiers back to base uninjured last night told The Irish Mirror: "It could have been a lot worse. Everyone came back safe.
A – to The Irish Mirror team that is currently on a visit to Irish HQ, Camp Shamrock in southern Lebanon. "Our job here is to ensure that number one we are prepared for that and number two we try and avoid that in so far as we can control that situation and number three if it does happen that we react appropriately."
"People who have more experience than me would equally say the situation has deteriorated and there is a tension in the air. But he added: "We have the very best of people here, guys who are making sacrifices, who are away from their families, who are training hard to ensure that they can look after each other, to ensure that if somebody is in trouble, that the reaction is swift, the reaction is appropriate and it is decisive."
"It has been drilled into us from the initial training. You know what you are looking for and you know what is happening immediately."He said: "I was too busy to be frightened until I came back to the camp with all my troops, that was when it kind of sank in what happened.
