Indonesian Peacekeepers Killed in Lebanon Blast

0:00On March 31st, two Indonesian United Nations peacekeepers got killed Monday in a roadside explosion in 7-11-on, near a place called Bonnie, Haiyan. A third was severely hurt and a fourth took some injuries too. This came just a day after another Indonesian peacekeeper died Sunday from a projectile blast nearby. Investigations by the UN team are digging into both hits, with early signs pointing to an improvised explosive device for Monday's attack. The explosions wrecked their vehicles, but the exact cause stays unknown for now. The UN's peacekeeping chief briefed the security council, stressing the soldiers serve the whole world and must stay safe. Families and colleagues are mourning Chief Private Farazal Ramadan from Sunday, plus Captain Zumi, Aditya, Iskandar, and First Sergeant Muhammad Nur. Each one from Monday, Israel's military flat out denied any role in the Bonnie Haiyan blast, saying no troops were even there. Meanwhile, they reported four of their own soldiers killed Tuesday in combat in the same area, with more wounded.
