JAKARTA - Indonesia is coordinating closely with the United Nations to repatriate the bodies of three Indonesian peacekeepers killed in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon last week, the Foreign Ministry has confirmed, with the remains expected to return home in the next few days.
The ministry warned of “significant challenges” during the repatriation process, citing restricted movement and heightened safety risks amid ongoing hostilities in the region.
