        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - A member of the DPR\u2019s Commission I, Syamsu Rizal, has\ncondemned the Israeli attack in Lebanon that killed an Indonesian\nNational Armed Forces (TNI) soldier serving with the United Nations\nInterim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) peacekeeping contingent.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the Israeli attack is unjustifiable and could\nconstitute a war crime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a very serious action.

The repatriation of the remains must be\ncarried out immediately with full honours, and the injured soldiers must\nreceive maximum treatment,\u201d said the National Awakening Party (PKB)\npolitician.<\/p>\n<p>This incident adds to the list of fallen TNI personnel, bringing the\ntotal to three members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the incident, two TNI soldiers were reported killed, while two\nothers sustained serious injuries.
