The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has praised Private Seán Rooney, an Irish soldier killed in a Lebanon ambush, for his remarkable bravery, which likely saved the lives of his comrades. Private Rooney, part of the 121 Infantry Battalion serving with the UN peacekeeping force, died in December 2022 during an assault by attackers near Al-Aqbiya. His family is now calling for the UN to release critical reports related to his death, as they continue to pursue an inquest. Concerns have been raised regarding the slow progress of investigations and the status of detainees linked to the incident.
