There have been calls to withdraw Irish troops from the region, due to escalating conflict.
A former Army Ranger believes moving Irish soldiers from Lebanon could prove more dangerous than leaving them as is.
Around 350 members of the Defence Forces are in the country, along with 150 Irish citizens.
The Tánaiste says the State can't unilaterally pull Irish soldiers out of Lebanon, and Independent Kildare South TD, Cathal Berry, agrees with that assessment:
Security experts fear Israel could use Iran's attack last night as a justification to start a wider regional conflict.
Tehran fired nearly 200 missiles into the country, hitting targets in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
The attack came in retaliation for Israel's air and ground campaign against Iran's allies in Lebanon.
Israel has vowed a "painful response" against its enemy.
Security and Defence Analyst, Mullingar's Declan Power, says it will be difficult to restrain Israel after the attack:
