Overview
- A blast at a UN base near El Adeisse on Friday injured three Indonesian peacekeepers, and UNIFIL said the origin of the explosion was unknown.
- The casualties followed two incidents on Sunday and Monday that killed three Indonesian troops in southern Lebanon, with an anonymous UN source alleging Israeli tank fire in one attack and the Israeli military denying responsibility for the other.
- Indonesia called for a thorough UN-led investigation and security guarantees for its contingent, and its military ordered personnel in Lebanon to shelter in bunkers as it keeps a planned rotation of more than 750 troops next month.
- The UN Security Council condemned the killings, backed UNIFIL, and urged investigations and stronger protection and freedom of movement for peacekeepers.
- A UN official reported that Israeli forces destroyed 17 surveillance cameras tied to UNIFIL’s Naqura headquarters, which the mission said appeared to be hit by a laser, raising concerns about degraded monitoring in a fast‑expanding conflict zone.
