BEIRUT (Reuters) - A Lebanese military tribunal has formally accused five members of Hezbollah and the Amal Movement of killing an Irish UNIFIL officer in 2022, a senior Lebanese judicial source told Reuters on Thursday.
Private Sean Rooney, 23, was killed on Dec 15 in the first fatal attack on U.N. peacekeepers in Lebanon since 2015.
