YOGYAKARTA - Three TNI soldiers were attacked while on duty in Lebanon. TNI's own duty in Lebanon is to carry out a mission to maintain the UN peacekeeping force. In this mission, TNI is included in the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL). This article will discuss the duties of TNI soldiers who are included in UNIFIL in Lebanon.
Knowing the TNI's Tasks in LebanonIndonesia assigned several TNI soldiers in Lebanon as proof of the active role in maintaining UN peace. In Lebanon, the TNI joined other soldiers who were later included in the temporary UN force, namely UNIFIL.
In the scientific journal manuscript The Role of the Indonesian Peacekeeping Forces in the Security Mission in Lebanon 2006-2012 written by Hamdy Maulana, Indonesia's involvement is based on three factors. The three factors are religion, history, and idealism contained in the 1945 Constitution. Beyond that, Indonesia is quite close to Lebanon.
As one of the countries with the largest number of followers of the Islamic religion in the world, Indonesia and Lebanon do have a closeness to the culture of the Islamic religion. In addition, Lebanon is also one of the countries that recognize Indonesia's independence.
It is this religious and historical closeness that makes the Indonesian people feel the need to help Lebanon and other Arab countries in resolving various internal and external conflicts.
The UNIFIL mission itself was formed on March 19, 1978 under Security Council Resolutions 425 and 426, precisely after Israel invaded Lebanon. UNIFIL was needed to help escort and ensure that Israeli forces were withdrawn although the new withdrawal was actually carried out in 2000.
It should be noted that Indonesian peacekeepers joined UNIFIL for the first time in 2006. Since then, Indonesia has often sent its soldiers to Lebanon to carry out the UN peacekeeping mission.
