A Chinese team including officials from the Foreign Ministry and Defense Ministry left Beijing Thursday night for Tel Aviv of Israel to handle the case of Chinese UN observer's death there.

The Chinese victim Du Zhaoyu was killed in an Israeli air raid on a UN post in south Lebanon on Wednesday.

The team, including Senior Col. Dai Shao'an, deputy director of the Peacekeeping Affairs Office (PAO) of the Ministry of National Defense, Chen Xu, deputy director of the Department of International Organizations and Conferences of the Foreign Ministry, and three other officials from the PAO, will deal with the aftermath.

Du's widow Li Lingling is also in the team to Tel Aviv.
