\nThree United Nations peacekeepers from Indonesia were killed in two separate incidents in southern Lebanon after a bloody weekend in which Lebanese journalists and medics \u200bwere killed in Israeli strikes. Two peacekeepers were killed on Monday after an explosion from an unknown origin destroyed their vehicle near Bani Hayyan in south Lebanon, the \u200cUN peacekeeping force UNIFIL said in a statement. Two other soldiers were wounded in the blast.
\nAnother Indonesian soldier was killed overnight Sunday into Monday when a projectile exploded near one of the group\u2019s positions close to the southern Lebanese village of Adchit al-Qusayr. Another peacekeeper was critically injured at the time.
\nThe death on Sunday was the first among the UN\u2019s peacekeeping force in the new war between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, which erupted on \u200bMarch 2.
\n\u201cThese are two separate incidents, and we are investigating them as two separate incidents,\u201d said UNIFIL\u2019s spokesperson Kandice Ardiel. In response to the first death, Indonesia\u2019s foreign ministry said \u200bon Monday the deceased peacekeeper was one of its citizens and that three others were injured by \u201cindirect artillery fire\u201d. Indonesia condemned \u201cin the strongest terms\u201d the second attack, its foreign ministry said on Tuesday. \u201cThis cannot be treated as an isolated occurrence, but reflects a rapidly deteriorating security environment in southern Lebanon, where ongoing Israeli military operations have placed \u200bUnited Nations peacekeepers at grave risk,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
