Hoax! All TNI Peacekeeping Troops Withdrawn from Lebanon

Jakarta – A post on the YouTube social media platform claims that the situation in Lebanon is heating up, prompting the TNI Commander to instruct all soldiers to enter bunkers as the top priority. The post also states that Indonesia has withdrawn all its peacekeeping troops from Lebanon. The narrative in the post reads: “Lebanon situation heats up: TNI Commander instructs all soldiers to enter security bunkers as top priority. Indonesia officially withdraws all peacekeeping troops from Lebanon! TNI Commander orders all troops to evacuate to bunkers!” However, is it true that all TNI peacekeeping troops have been withdrawn from Lebanon? Explanation: Based on checks, no official statements from the government or reports from credible media mention that Indonesia has withdrawn all its peacekeeping troops from Lebanon. Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya, quoted by ANTARA, stated that to date there has been no decision to withdraw TNI troops from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) mission. Teddy explained that the government is continuing the assignment of TNI soldiers in that peacekeeping mission, while conducting periodic evaluations both internally and externally. Meanwhile, TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto conveyed that the TNI troops’ assignment period in UNIFIL is indeed scheduled to end in May 2026, so all personnel will return to Jakarta according to that schedule. Therefore, the claim that all TNI peacekeeping troops have been withdrawn from Lebanon is untrue information or a hoax. Rating: All TNI peacekeeping troops withdrawn from Lebanon. Claim: Hoax. Fact Check: Hoax! Prabowo orders war preparations with Israel after three TNI deaths. Fact Check: Hoax! Pigai asserts TNI soldier’s death in Lebanon is not a human rights issue.
