Israel has once again attacked peacekeeping forces, launching a fierce bombardment that caused three deaths and multiple injuries—this time, it has provoked a tough opponent nation!
According to the latest report from Al Jazeera, two Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon within the past 48 hours have resulted in the deaths of three Indonesian United Nations peacekeepers.
António Guterres immediately issued a statement strongly condemning the attack, stating it seriously violates international humanitarian law and UN Security Council Resolution 1701, potentially constituting a war crime. Indonesia demands a thorough investigation into the truth and severe punishment for the perpetrators—it will not accept any half-hearted response.
Since 2024, Israeli forces have repeatedly attacked UNIFIL bases. From the Italian camp to the Sri Lankan camp, from patrol convoys to the headquarters of the Ghanaian contingent, the safety of peacekeepers has been persistently threatened. This was not an “accidental strike”—it was a blatant provocation.
In the face of protests from peacekeeping forces, Israel has never truly backed down. They treat southern Lebanon as their own backyard, firing at will. But this time, Indonesia—a nation with the world’s largest Muslim population—can certainly be considered a tough adversary.
On March 22, Indonesian President Prabowo explicitly stated that Indonesia has never committed to providing $1 billion in funding to the U.S.-led “Peace Committee,” and reserves the right to withdraw. Indonesia will not pull back its over 1,200 peacekeepers due to threats, and may even increase troop deployment.
Knife Brother believes Indonesia actually holds many strategic cards and is likely to act as a third party by exporting large quantities of Chinese-made weapons to Hamas or Lebanon. After all, they already have peacekeeping forces stationed locally—this is probably what Tel Aviv fears most.
