Sixteen Hungarian soldiers are stationed at the Israeli border in southern Lebanon. According to the Irish Mirror, these soldiers, along with several of their fellow service members, were compelled to take shelter in bunkers.

Hungarian peacekeepers are deployed with the Lebanese armed organisation Hezbollah. They are accompanied by 338 Irish soldiers, as well as Polish and Maltese troops. An Irish army spokesman said that the peacekeepers entered the purpose-built bunker at 1 pm local time and emerged nearly four hours later. No injuries were reported.

A total of 16 Hungarian soldiers are participating in the UN Peacekeeping Mission in Lebanon, with 13 of them involved in the incident. A multi-ethnic unit appears to be operating near At Tiri, as well as at the base on the Israeli border. The majority of the soldiers are of Irish and Polish nationality. The first rotation of Hungarian soldiers took place in September.
