Hezbollah has denied any connection to the killing of an Irish soldier from the United Nations peacekeeping forces in 2022. A senior Lebanese judicial source stated that "the military court charged five individuals yesterday, Thursday, including members of Hezbollah and Amal Movement." In this context, the media official from Hezbollah, Mohammad Afif, confirmed that "the five accused are not members of the party." He also denied that the indictment described them as members of Hezbollah. The soldier, Sean Rooney (23 years old), was killed on December 15 of the previous year in the first attack that resulted in casualties among UN peacekeeping forces in Lebanon since 2015.
