The Israeli military believes, following a preliminary review, that two Indonesian peacekeepers killed in Lebanon yesterday were hit by Hezbollah roadside bombs.
In addition, UN peacekeeping chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix tells the UN Security Council that initial findings in a probe into the deaths of the two peacekeepers point to a roadside explosion striking their convoy.
The peacekeepers were part of the UNIFIL observer force, which saw another peacekeeper killed on Sunday. That incident is still under investigation.
