It is reported that more bombs are going off in Lebanon now, with an additional three people killed today, and we know 12 were killed yesterday, including two children. This is state terrorism. It is a very clear war crime and I would like the Taoiseach to clearly condemn it in those terms. This is not some once-off out of nowhere. Over the last year, there have been more than 6,000 attacks by Israel on Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of well over 600 people at this stage. It is a very clear strategy to push for an all-out regional war.

Related to that is a question I put to the Taoiseach earlier about the munitions going from and paid for by the US to Israel through Irish airspace. The Taoiseach stated very clearly that no permission was given for that to happen. Therefore, these flights were in contravention of the law. What will happen about that? That is a very serious matter of our sovereign airspace being repeatedly gone through, on six occasions, bringing weapons of war to a country that is currently involved in genocide.
