Indonesia Condemns 'Unacceptable' Attack on UN Peacekeepers in Southern Lebanon

Indonesia condemned an explosion at a UN peacekeeping base in southern Lebanon that wounded three Indonesian soldiers serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). The Indonesian government called the incident "unacceptable" and demanded a full investigation into the attack on the peacekeeping mission. Jakarta has called on the UN Security Council to investigate the incident and immediately convene a meeting of countries that contribute troops to UNIFIL. The explosion represents an escalation in tensions affecting international peacekeeping operations in the volatile border region between Lebanon and Israel, where UNIFIL has maintained a presence since 1978 to monitor the cessation of hostilities.
