Indonesia confirmed on Friday that two of its soldiers in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were shot by Israeli occupation forces during an attack on a tower at UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura in southern Lebanon.

Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said in a statement that the two soldiers were transferred to a hospital for further observation.

She considered that “attacking UN personnel and property is a major violation of international humanitarian law.” Indonesia has about 1,232 soldiers deployed as part of the 10,000-strong UNIFIL force on the Blue Line in southern Lebanon.
