Caretaker Information Minister, Ziad Makary, on Friday contacted by phone the UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander, Major General Aroldo Lázaro Sáenz, to whom he offered condolences following the ill-fated death of an Irish peacekeeper in South Lebanon.

Makary wished those wounded a speedy recovery and stressed that this painful incident was in the hands of the competent security apparatuses. “Everyone must wait for the outcome investigations,” he added.
