Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with the families, friends, and comrades of the three brave Indonesian United Nations Peacekeepers who tragically lost their lives in South Lebanon in recent days.

These soldiers stood for peace in one of the most challenging regions in the world. They served not for themselves, but for the safety and stability of others — a sacrifice that reflects the very highest ideals of humanity.

May their courage never be forgotten.
May their families find strength in the pride of their loved ones’ service.
And may those responsible for this horrific act be held fully accountable for the murder of these peacekeepers who wore the blue helmet in the name of peace.

Rest in peace, brave warriors. Your service will be remembered.https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2026/0330/1565823-unifil-lebanon/
