Indonesian military considers reducing peacekeepers to Lebanon
The Indonesian military is considering reducing the number of peacekeepers deployed to Lebanon due to escalating conflict and recent injuries and fatalities. Three Indonesian soldiers were wounded and three were killed in separate incidents in southern Lebanon, prompting discussions about troop reduction and safety guarantees.
The Indonesian military is open to reducing peacekeepers in Lebanon. Three Indonesian soldiers were wounded in a blast on April 3. This followed the deaths of three Indonesian peacekeepers killed in explosions on March 29 and 30. The TNI Peacekeeping Mission Center plans to replace 753 soldiers in Lebanon, but may reduce personnel due to hostilities. The situation has sparked domestic calls for action and condemnation from President Prabowo. Indonesia has requested a UN Security Council meeting to investigate the attacks.
