Apologies for modifying the title. The live page has terrible article titles.

The government-run Lebanese Civil Defence emergency service says the five workers were waiting in a makeshift centre in a church hall in the southern town of Derdghaiya when it was hit by an Israeli air strike. We've spoken to Father Maurice Khoury, head of the St George'sCatholic parish church there, who says those killed were "a model for humanity and chivalry. They sacrificed their lives for the wellbeing of others".

Per other linked articles, Israel seems to claim they killed two Hezbollah members, but I haven’t found a single article that contains all the information in one place.

This post from that other place has a purported picture of the damaged church.

You are correct. That's the reference I meant.

ETA: the fact there are multiple incidents of the IDF going after Irish soldiers is kinda crazy.

It is deleted; what did it say?

Oh weird. The deleted comment just made counter assumption that I was referencing a recent incident where IDF forces got dangerously close to a battalion of Irish forces working under the UN to protect the Southern Lebanon border.

My reply to the deleted comment was me confirming that was the incident I was referring to originally.
