Cimahi, West Java (ANTARA) – The Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) confirmed that 756 personnel will be deployed to Lebanon in late May 2026 as part of a rotation for the UNIFIL peacekeeping mission.Commander of the TNI Peacekeeping Mission Center (PMPP) Major General Iwan Bambang Setiawan said Indonesia's policy in UN peacekeeping missions is independent, despite calls to withdraw similar to Malaysia's move.”We cannot base our decisions on the interests of other countries. If Malaysia has its own policy, we respect that,” he said after visiting the family of a fallen peacekeeping soldier in Cimahi, West Java, on Wednesday.The rotation is scheduled for May 22, 2026, in line with the UN timetable.The deployment aligns with the quota requested by the United Nations.”The rotation will be carried out after one year of deployment,” Iwan said.Earlier, three Indonesian UNIFIL peacekeepers died in Lebanon in late March 2026.They were Chief Private Fahrizal Rhomadhon, First Sergeant Muhammad Nur Ichwan, and Infantry Captain Zulmi Aditya Iskandar.Fahrizal died in an indirect artillery attack near Adchit Al Qusayr on March 29, while Nur Ichwan and Zulmi were killed in a vehicle explosion near Bani Haiyyan the following day.A total of 753 personnel remain in the mission area.Setiawan expressed hope that all personnel will complete their mission and return safely.”God willing, all will return safely to Indonesia,” he said.
