Three United Nations peacekeeper troops have been killed in Lebanon over the past 24 hours, as fierce fighting continues between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in the southern part of the country.

On Monday, two Indonesian peackeepers from the UN Interim Force in Lebanon were killed and two more were injured when their logistics convoy came under fire, the UN’s peacekeeping head, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, said at a briefing in New York.
