Lebanon and Iran are being further threatened.

An Liobáin agus an Iaráin á dtuairgneáil tuilleadh.

Israeli military forces are reportedly carrying out a massive raid on Iranian infrastructure again today, for the fifth day in a row.

Tuairiscítear go bhfuil ruathar ollmhór á thabhairt ag fórsaí míleata Iosrael ar bhonneagar na hIaráine arís inniu, an cúigiú lá as a chéile.

In a statement, the Israelis claimed that their bombs were aimed at Iranian military infrastructure – including missile launch sites and air defense systems – but made no mention of the civilian infrastructure they were also targeting.

I ráiteas, mhaigh na hIosraelaigh gur ar bhonneagar míleata na hIaráine atá a gcuid buamaí dírithe – lena n-áirítear ionaid lainseála diúracán agus córais chosanta aeir – ach níl aon lua ar an mbonneagar sibhialta atá á rúscadh acu freisin.

This is the case in Lebanon, where Israeli missiles destroyed a hotel in the capital, Beirut, and residential buildings in the Lebanon Valley in the east of the country.

Is amhlaidh atá an scéal sa Liobáin, mar ar scrios diúracáin na nIosraelach óstán sa phríomhchathair, Béiriút, agus árais chónaithe i nGleann na Liobáine in oirthear na tíre.

Several people are reported to have been killed in those two attacks, it was not said how many.

Tuairiscítear roinnt daoine a bheith maraithe sa dá ionsaí sin, ní dúradh cé mhéad.

The Israeli army has ordered the population of sixteen villages in southern Lebanon to gather because, they say, they will soon begin bombarding those areas.

Tá ordú tugtha ag arm Iosrael don phobal i sé shráidbhaile dhéag i ndeisceart na Liobáine bailiú leo mar gur gearr, a deir siad, go dtósóidh siad ag tuairgneáil na n-áiteanna sin.

The Israelis say they are wreaking havoc there in order to suppress Hezbollah, an organization supported by Iran.

Is le dúil Hezbollah, eagraíocht a dtacaíonn an Iaráin leis, a chur faoi chois a deir na hIosraelaigh atá siad ag déanamh lot tíre ann.

Hezbollah has been firing rockets into northern Israel for several days.

Tá Hezbollah ag scaoileadh roicéad uathu le tuaisceart Iosrael le roinnt laethanta.

Irish soldiers are among the international troops on peacekeeping duty with the United Nations in southern Lebanon.

Tá saighdiúirí na hÉireann i measc na saighdiúirí idirnáisiúnta atá ar dualgas síochána leis na Náisiúin Aontaithe i ndeisceart na Liobáine.

As with Iran, the commander of American forces in the Middle East is boasting about how well his soldiers – 50,000 of them – are carrying out orders.

Mar leis an Iaráin, tá ceannasaí fhórsaí Mheiriceá sa Mhéanoirthear ag déanamh gaisce faoina fheabhas atá a chuid saighdiúirí – 50,000 acu – ag cur orduithe i bhfeidhm.

Admiral Brad Cooper claimed that Iran’s military capability is being gradually depleted and that American combat capabilities in the region are growing stronger.

Mhaígh an tAimiréal Brad Cooper go bhfuil cumas míleata na hIaráine á spíonadh diaidh ar ndiaidh agus gur ag dul i neart atá cumas comhraic na Meiriceánach sa réigiún.

More soldiers and equipment are on the way, he said.

Tá tuilleadh saighdiúirí agus trealaimh ar an mbealach, a dúirt sé.

Iran’s air defense systems are on the verge of being destroyed, the admiral said, and the country’s navy has been unable to put a single ship to sea since seventeen of its vessels were sunk in four days.

Tá córais chosanta aeir na hIaráine i ndáil le bheith scriosta, arsa an tAimiréal, agus níl cabhlach na tíre in ann aon long a chur faoi sheol ó cuireadh seacht soitheach déag dá gcuid go tóin le ceithre lá.

Regarding the people being killed by the bombs, not much is being said.

I dtaca leis na daoine atá á gcur den saol ag na buamaí, níl mórán á rá.

Authorities in Iran said yesterday that 787 people have been killed since Saturday, including 165 schoolgirls.

Dúirt na húdaráis san Iaráin inné gur maraíodh 787 duine ón Satharn, 165 cailín scoile ina measc.

The Iranians are continuing their own bombing of neighboring countries, Arab countries where the Americans have large military bases and where thousands of Irish citizens live.

Tá na hIaránaigh ag leanúint den bhuamáil atá siad féin a dhéanamh ar thíortha comharsanachta, tíortha Arabacha a bhfuil bunáiteanna móra míleata ag na Meiriceánaigh iontu agus ina bhfuil na mílte saoránach de chuid na hÉireann ina gcónaí.
