Irish newspaper: Irish soldiers would have been killed or taken hostage by Islamist extremists if it wasnt for the military intervention of the Israeli army during last weeks battle to save besieged UN soldiers. Ireland is one of the most anti-Israel EU countries at the UN. Senior sources said that there would almost certainly have been UN casualties or deaths if it wasnt for the help given by the Israeli military, which has posts on high ground overlooking the UN observer bases in Quneitra. The Israeli assistance was described as decisive in the success of the mission. The Israelis were able to guide the Irish-led rescue troops and help it avoid concentrations of the more heavily armed al-Nusra force. There are also unconfirmed reports that the Israelis directed fire at the Islamists to stop them from attacking the Filipino and Irish soldiers.
