UN security source tells AFP Israeli fire killed peacekeeper on Sunday

A U.N. security source told AFP on Tuesday that Israeli fire had killed an Indonesian peacekeeper at the weekend, after the U.N. force said it was investigating the incident.

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon had said that the peacekeeper was killed on Sunday evening when a projectile of unknown origin "exploded in a UNIFIL position near Adchit al Qusayr", while two more Indonesian blue helmets were killed in South Lebanon the following day.

The source told AFP on condition of anonymity that evidence had been identified that the source of the fire on Sunday was an Israeli tank.
