Three Indonesian peacekeepers killed in two separate explosions in southern Lebanon last week were laid to rest in their hometowns on Sunday.
Peacekeeper Farizal Rhomadhon, 28, died when a projectile exploded on March 29 in southern Lebanon, where Israel and Hezbollah have been fighting since Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war.
Two other blue helmets, Zulmi Aditya Iskandar, 33, and Muhammad Nur Ichwan, 26, died a day later when an explosion struck a logistics convoy of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), also in southern Lebanon.
The deadly incidents sparked calls from Indonesian authorities for an investigation and security guarantees for peacekeeping forces.
The soldiers were buried on Sunday in coffins draped in the Indonesian flag during military funerals with gun salutes.
Weeping family members scattered flower petals on their graves.
