Is the RTE as compromised as badly as the BBC? You have to read 3/4 of the article to find out that obviously it was Israel that attacked the UN peacekeeper base. Even then the article doesn't mention Israel's attack until it managed to wedge in a largely irrelevant condemnation of Hezbollah's assault on Israeli forces illegally in Lebanon (Hezbollah of course being a legal organic resistance force to illegal Israeli occupation and not a proxy of Iran). Which it misleadingly describes as attacks on Israel, adding (for the purpose of further misleading) that the attacks 'menaced' (note that they didn't strike) civilian communities in northern Israel.

The article also provides cover for this particular round of aggression towards UN peacekeepers by insinuating that the strikes came 'admist heavy firing' as if that excuses the deliberate targeting inside the base. It could have mentioned that the UN peacekeeper bases are there to specifically discourage Israel from annexing further land from Lebanon, to further their imperialistic plans in the region, which is why Israel is constantly trying to get the UN to withdraw those forces. Following that it could also question if Israel thought attacking the UN base with Ghanian soldiers would achieve the withdrawal of UN troops without drawing too much condemnation in Europe. And if this is part of the overarching pattern of racist activity by the fascistic ethnostate.
