The Indonesian government confirms that a peacekeeping personnel was killed in the attack in southern Lebanon.

The Indonesian government confirmed on the 30th that an Indonesian military member who was carrying out a mission in Lebanon was killed in an attack that took place on the 29th. The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on social media that day, saying that the Indonesian military member was killed in the attack on the 29th, and that another three people were injured. The incident occurred in southern Lebanon, and shelling hit the area near the Indonesian contingent of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). The Indonesian side strongly condemned it and called for a transparent and thorough investigation to identify those responsible and hold them accountable.

The statement said that Israel’s military actions have intensified regional tensions and undermined efforts to maintain peace and stability. Indonesia urged all parties to exercise restraint and prevent the situation from escalating further. The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the safety of United Nations peacekeepers must always be fully respected, and that any acts that harm peacekeeping personnel are unacceptable and will weaken the international community’s shared efforts to maintain peace and stability. Indonesia is coordinating with UNIFIL to arrange the return of the remains of the deceased and to ensure that the injured receive proper treatment. (Xinhua News Agency)
