Irish soldiers in the Golan heights are involved in an ongoing operation to support UN outposts as a firefight has begun between Filipino UN troops and anti Syrian government forces.
The 40 Filipino troops have been surrounded by the rebel forces, including some Islamist fighters for 48 hours.
Gunfire began at 6am local time.
A spokesman for the Irish Defence Forces has confirmed Irish troops are still operating in the area but for operational security reasons details are not been given out.
The troops are part of UNDOF, a UN force that has monitored the disengagement zone between Israel and Syria since 1974 in the wake of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
UN officials are trying to establish the whereabouts of 44 Fijian peacekeepers, also part of UNDOF, seized by alQaeda-linked militants this week along the rocky frontier between Syria and the Golan Heights.
